Low boost, High boost
So lets see if anyone on here can identify this type of turbo I've come across and am considering a project with...

lol maaaaybe, who knows ![Whistle](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/whistle.gif)
I've just seen very very few setups use this type of turbo and I'm all about new, unique car mods. So this intrigues me lol.

Variable Geometry Turbo is correct, its capable of variable amounts of boost. Its like having a twin turbo setup with 1 turbo.
Under low load or lower rpm's you can set them to have a lower amount of boost with those vanes closed, and as rpm's climb and you want more boost the vanes open up. So you can have boost from right off idle to redline
. No wait to spool, less space needed than twin turbos with linear power
They're quite popular with diesel's, I'm in training and we started diesel class and i came across this and a light bulb immediately came on in my head

yeah but when you have an AEBS sleeved block meant to take 60 lbs of boost constantly, the motor deals with it just fine

I was in an automotive technology program that i graduate from on the 22nd, and through that I got a scholarship to become a BMW Master Tech Engineer. So basically i was learning all the shit a mechanic needs to know since i already have a PSU engineering degree, and BMW hooked me up from that since i did well in my programs.

Got a tube of this for sealing it. You can also use clear plumbers caulk, but the silicone will handle the vibrations and movements better.

Got a used Black and Decker jigsaw on Craigy for $20. Came with blades so I cut the Lexan to fit the sunroof hole.

The bols may be too short as I forgot the gas between the two parts of the roof where the spotweld are. Those 4" intercooler couplings will be cut to size and bolted to the lexan and car. The two thicker metal peices will be used to make the hooks for the rear part of the sunroof.

This is the hardware for the OEM sunroof visor. I will fashion the rear brackets in this way to fasten the lexan.
