Picked up my new Tial waste gate valves from Svensk Turboservice yesterday. They came straight from the Tial assembly line in the USA.
Worth waiting for! They are the new, upprated version with integrated water cooling.
How small are they? I compared them with the earlier bolt on 38mm Tial WG and I can tell you. They are very small! Good! Since I do a twin installation and there isn't much space to talk about.
MV-S V2.0
This revamp features water cooling ports, three bottom air ports and two top air ports. Water ports are not required for operation, but come in handy at road racing, the top hat is close to the turbine housing/down pipe or when the engine bay doesn't get a lot of airflow. Air and Water ports are clearly marked so there is no confusion.
(mine are silver/aluminum coloured).

Yeah I have been heard a lot about the MVS, if you were to use the water ports, where would you tap for the source? and I assume the two water ports is water in and water out?

How about the air ports? hwo do you use them? Thanks for sharing awesome build.

The MVS v2 has five air ports and two water ports.
(three bottom air ports and two top air ports).

My new turbo doesn't have any water cooling. There is as you know a water cooling system on the engine, used for the original T25-turbo and I will reuse that for the Tial MVS (with new piping). You are right, there is water in and out on the MVS.

Connection of the air ports will basically be like Tial suggest and I will use a Haltech electronic 3-way boost valve together with my new DTAfast ECU.

I have a bunch of different springs to install in the MVS and I will use a basic spring load of 1-1,7 Bar (14-25 Psi) and with the Boost valve the Max Boost will be set to about 2,5-2,8 Bar (36-41 Psi).

This together with all other tunings will result in some +700HP.

Today I made a major investment.

I bought a spigot bushing for a massive $8

Part no. is 32202-7f401

For those not familiar with the term, the spigot bushing is a bronze sleeve bearing in the tail end of the crankshaft which carries the nose of the gearbox input shaft to provide proper alignment of the clutch disk.

Soak it in oil for a day or two before you install it. The oil penetrate the tiny holes in the bushing.

The old one is removed with a rod just a tad smaller than the inner diameter of the bushing and some ordinary grease. Fill up the hole with grease, put the rod inside the opening and tap it with a hammer a few times.

The rod will press against the grease and the grease will force the bushing out. May take some harder taps if the bushing is a bit grumpy.

Lots of pins to crimp on the cables for the DTA-ECU. Only remain some heat-shrink tubing and they are all done. The photos show the sensor cables. The Power cables I finished earlier.

ballin, so most of your harness you're re-doing with shielded wiring?

Yes, for the sensors I use shielded twisted pair wiring to reduce interference.
For power I use ordinary low resistance wiring.

I have +12V, +5V, ordinary chassis ground, one separated sensor ground for normal sensors i.e oil pressure, temperatures etc and another separated sensor ground for hall sensors (CAS).

20 and 22 AWG
