These are pictures of my X-turbo and Wastegate mounted to my Log Style Exhaust Manifold. This turbo had a shitty rebuild apparently from http://www.blaastperformance.com who the original owner got it from and never used it since the rebuild.. I recommend not buying a turbo from them. We were gently and I am telling the true drove the car around to test it and the front turbine wheel came off the shaft, not because the nut came loose, but because it just broke off the shaft. As Ian and I drove back to the garage the rear turbine wheel was spinning with no drag against from the compressor side, it spun so fast while we were driving about 4000 rpms that the wheel broke off its' shaft and flew out my exhaust and landed in the middle of the road.. Three of the rear wheels fins went thru the rear turbine housing and oil flew out the exhaust like crazy.. Luckily I had a shut off on the oil supply line so we could drive the car home normally. So I had to get a new turbo... And a brand new one with no problems.. So I ordered a brand new T3/60-1 Garrett from www.cheapturbo.com and they shipped it overnight for a boy who can't wait.. I do recommend buying from them.

It is pretty much the same a/r as my old one. .48 a/r turbine and .70 a/r compressor..

I made a stainless steel downpipe to use for the turbo that will fit in the space left between the turbo and the a/c compressor. This area is very tight for the 2.5" pipe, but I got it to fit with no problems..

This was how the downpipe looked before removing it and having to put the new turbo in which required me to remove my old turbo flange and weld the new onto the downpipe.. I wrapped the downpipe in header wrap to help protect the a/c compressor from seeing all the heat from the turbo exhaust.. The picture below shows the close fit..

I installed my EGT right as the downpipe starts to bend  down from the turbo.. It ended up being 2 1/4 inches from the rear turbine wheel.. The braided line going across the middle of the above pic is the oil feed line for the turbo.

Here above is the line going from the back of the motor to the oil in on the turbo. Also in the pic is my custom home made 4 inch intake for the turbo. I ran it under the frame to the bumper.

I circled the air filter for the 4 inch intake. Gets nice cold air there.

I also had to cut a hole in my oil pan to receive the oil return line from the turbo.

Here the finished product mounted to the car. The line comes off the turbo using gravity to dump back into the oil pan.
