Thread: SC monte going turbo. A few questions.

Just as an update, found out that the impeller had some damage(my brother back home looked at it and told me), so we are sending the turbo in to have the impeller replaced and having the turbo basically remanned(ball bearings etc, not entirely sure what all my bro sent it in to have done) will keep everyone updated as I know more. We have everything for the kit and hopefully will have it running the first weekend I am home. Thanks for the advice I have gotten thus far.

For those who are using the SC blower case for their turbo build up. What all did you do to the case when you took the rotors out, as far as port and polish goes? Just curious what all I should do to mine when I get home.

The case I am using is my brothers old case, the snout is bad as well as the coupler so I figured we would use that and keep my good gen 3 as is. So someone on clubgp was saying that porting has no positive effects can anyone here verify that?

Eventually when I know a little more about the turbo I will probably do that, but not until after a built tranny. I figure after a tranny is when I will be pushing for bigger number, for now it's just a fun good bit of power.
