Haven't posted in awhile so here's a small update. In preparation for dyno tune, I keep starting the car and letting it idle to find any leaks or anything that needs to be buttoned up. For the last couple days the damn turbo is leaking oil and making the car smoke. Not much as it did the first time but enough that you can tell. We've rebuilt this turbo twice already and cant get it to stop leaking oil. So we decided to make a custom s362 turbo using the same turbine housing from this turbo but a s362 frame. This way it will mount under the NA intake manifold with no issue. But not to mention spool will be awesome. Its going to take a lot of machine work but it will be great in the end. Ill post pics when he gets started on the custom turbo build.

I've got 13k miles on my BW i am loving it , so far so good and i plan to get atleast 50k miles out of it , since i drive my car everyday.
S362 is a great Turbo spools fast and still make 700whp on C16 or E85.

Just to keep this thread alive and while I'm awaiting for the new turbo, I started working on the suspension.
Stripped and cleaned some upper control arms than powder coated them red to match everything else. I do all my powder coating my self
made my own oven and got a gun. Done a few dozen jobs on the side and its super easy and much better than rattle can paint!
These will also get some beefer hiem joints ends if I can find the right ones.

these are the infamous TC sprightliness. Not many good reviews on them but I thinks its just user install error and not properly installing the heim joint spacers the right way.

NOW the best part, I got me a sweet turbo S366 frame with machined out housings and pressed in inserts to fit a 74mm turbine housing YES a 74MM wheel and a 71mm compressor wheel. Sense this turbo can get me up into some real good power; a few things are going to have to change to play it safe! TT HG and ARP studs are going in, in the next few weeks. Also going to swap in my R154 so I don’t blow up the w58!
Suspension is currently getting put on and I’m waiting for some pads for the LS400 calipers and I'm currently on the lookout for some sway bars. TRD is what I'm thinking if this other deal doesn't come through.
Sense this turbo has a race cover; the rad hose gets in the way for the IC pipe. So I did a 10min swap for the water neck that coasted me only 15 bucks (cost for a new rad hose). Usually you have to get the stupid adapter plate thing that will point it down but in all reality, you just need to grind down a nub that’s on one of the sides and flip it around and it points down
Than simply go to your auto parts store and look for a hose that only has a 90* bend in it and you’re done!
