I have an OEM Exedy clutch with 2,000 miles on it for sale if anyone wants it, also got the OEM O2 sensors, injectors, and the intake I made for the car.
Let me know

Boy, that looks easy to get the engine in/out !!! Good to know, as my rear main oil leak is apparently not going to heal itself anytime soon ... (always something!).
From what it looks like in your pics, I assume you left the transmission in the car, and just pulled the engine? |

Yes, I pulled the engine out since I had to change the clutch and it made it much easier to install the turbo and drill/tap the oil pan.

Clamps for the intercooler will be here tomorrow, had to use the supplied ones on another piece.

Looking real nice Luke. I really like how you mounted the intercooler and always liked the black manifold and engine parts. It looks focused functional.

Big update....received my Enthuzacar turbo exhaust this afternoon and got it installed. Took it out for a shakedown and it was awesome! I have the manual boost controller turned all the way down and it still smokes the tires in 2nd gear. I just have to weld an exhaust hanger on the back (using wire now lol) and figure out the rough idle.  |

I have a turbo noob question: How much does it matter to have the 'turbo' version exhaust?
I will probably go turbo in the future at some point, and have the Enthusacar NA exhaust. A big deal to leave it?

A big deal to leave it? Im not an expert so take this with a grain of salt but I seem to remember hearing that because a turbo will effectively provide exhaust muffling that turbo exhaust mufflers tend to be focused more on providing good flow rather than noise reduction because the turbo is doing most of that for it. As such, a turbo muffler on an N/A car might be quite loud and a N/A muffler in a turbo car might not flow as well...someone here would have tried this theory out i am sure  |

Plus 1 for above.. I would go with a 3" exhaust all the way back open as you can get it. noise is not a factor.
Sell your non turbo exhaust get new made.

Noise aside, how much power is one giving up by not changing? Anyone know?

Noise aside, how much power is one giving up by not changing? Anyone know? Jon it depends on a number of factors. I would throw out 8-20% difference between a NA exhaust and a well designed turbo exhaust. I gained 30 HP on a WRX after changing from stock turbo back exhaust to aftermarket turbo exhaust. This consisted of bell mouth down pipe, mandrel bends, increase in diameter to 3" and freer flowing cat and mufflers but it followed the same path, had a resonator and same type mufflers and cat in the same places. On lower boost set up it will hurt less to keep NA exhaust vs high boost system. If I was looking for the cheepest and easiest change to an exhaust after adding a turbo I would remove the muffler and go straight pipe to see if I liked the results and sound quality/level. It's almost free, reduces weight and size of exhaust and usually improves flow well. The turbo really does cut sound a lot. An engineer friend who turbocharges his Focus called it a rotary muffler. Neon SRT4s came from the factory with no mufflers and passed sound tests so even OEMs took advantage of it. |
