Well I got all my exhaust on, just be carefull with that v-band clamp on the downpipe/turbo, If its not lined up correctly you will bend the clamp and leaks will be had. I get a tiny tick from it, its annoying! Going to get a new one tomarrow and hope it will work!

Thanks but its annoying the hell outa me, cant get the exhaust leak to go away at the downpipe/turbo. MAKE SURE THOSE FLANDGES ARNT WARPED FIRST before install. Been a pain in the ass for two days strait and finaly put some copper RTV on it and its now sitting and curing, hope that will seal the imperfections. well see at about 5pm tomarrow

that's definitely not a question anyone can answer for you. i love everything about a turbo setup. as compared to an sc'd car i'll see mild lag but by the time the turbo spools i'll see more power through the entire powerband. now, you can't beat the low end torque on an sc build or the whine. but it's all up to you.

it's an air compressor in-line filter happens to work well for our needs. you can pick up the filter and the two hose fittings in the air compressor section of home depot or the like.
