Chris's car was up and running yesterday. The fuel tank has a leak that we need to fix, it has a bad weld on it, and while warming up the engine yesterday the turbo touched down... I'm glad it happened at the end of the day, what a way to change everyone's moods in the shop! Bob

New to FI so be prepared for the question, but what do you mean by "the turbo touched down"???? Does that mean it shredded a bearing and needs to be replaced/rebuilt? I am assuming that was from lack of oil circulation? Please advise

the preliminary guess is that the impeller touched the turbo housing, wont know for sure till it is taken apart

i always wondered if a alt relocation bracket would suite well on the ofi kit to make more space for that 4" dp

i was wondering if that bracket would fit the ofi kit to keep it away from the downpipe with the problems some guys were having. Glad to see it does! wasnt sure if it would clear the headers.

i dont think they can fit a 98 in that housing, too small.I think with the luck i have had with this car lately we should just keep it simple

Nice looking set up you have there. Bummer you had problems with the turbo, hope you get it back soon. I like the way your exhaust turned out. I was wondering what brand of muffler it was and if the guys at EPP said if it was loud or not?
