Hey Stan, did get the lower boot from rockrat, minor mod to fit. Tcase works great, thanks again! Saving funds for a toy cv swap, and rear axle heavy duty swap, to run 33-34's. Mike, Thanks, appreciate the props, but nothing like the kind of work you do! I need a bigger shop for sure. That header was quite time consuming, it was a definite pita! It held up pretty well, especially since I didn't have any bracing between the turbo flange and the exhaust flange. ( my first one, always a learning experience!) Eventually it did develop a crack near the top of the collecter, from vibration and the weight of the turbo, so I added some bracing top and bottom to help control vibes and support the weight of the turbo better. It seems to have held up well so far, but my used turbo needs a center section rebuild again, oil seals leaking for the second time. One thing I can't stand is oil leaks, right up there with smoke and rattles. Yeah, i'm anal, and a perfectionist. So now the turbo is in some boxes while I try and decide if I'm gonna buy a NEW turbo, probably a water cooled Garrett, and build a new, much simpler manifold. NO need for equal length tubes, and I'll build the manifold out of steel weld el's, and heavy duty Sched 40 high pressure tubing. Probably skip the intercooler too, and keep the boost at 5lbs. Now that it's just running the header again, it sure seems doggy. I really miss the boost. BTW, I convinced my buddy with the plasma cutter to help me relocate my upper rear coil mounts. A 12 pack oughta do it~!
