i think because yours is an ST80 and mine is an S88

i might have confused you before, because i didn't realize yours was an "ST" series

nice turbo! it is a lot bigger then the 76GTS that is for sure, i had to change around the entire plan for my kit to make that 80 work in there...one thing i don't like about that turbo is the "slip" fit for the charge pipe...i just hacked that off and welded a V-band onto the cover, makes for a lot cleaner look and i needed some room for my charge pipe as well...hijack over, Forced Inductions is a good place to deal with and they have helped me as well

You should have told us. We offer the cover with a V-band discharge as well for the standard covers.

i didn't really think about it, my buddy has an S400 75mm unit on his mod motor cobra, and his is like that, and since they are similar i just figured mine was going to be that way. no biggie though i got 'er done!
