That's a good description. I have some Union welders from where I work teaching me how to mig and tig. They had a similar general breakdown of it. Btw real nice setup!!

I go to Apex Performance Turbo's that is local to me and also a buddy of mine. He does great work at a reasonable price. I believe he bored out and re sleeves the compressor housing to make the 71mm fit. Give him call and he will give your break down.
Everything is mostly all back on the car and ready to run... I just need to make the 5.5" intake pipe for the turbo and fix the midpipe.. Somewhere along the lines of modifying the down pipe, things got a little tweaked.
Instead of using a metal gasket, i used ultra copper gasket maker to seal up the manifold. Apply, hand tighten and let set for 1 hour, than torque to spec.. Should work nicely
And same quick picks I took around 11pm when I finished assembling.
Richard , what size is that turbo ? Is that the 80mm ? It looks huge !
Its a s471 with the race cover. The race cover makes the turbo look massive...
BTW got her fired up last night and all seems to be ok. I think I need to add fuel to the fuel map sense this is a bigger turbo and a new manifold. At operating temp she runs at 13.4 afr at idle.
