Looks like it's in great shape. You planning to feed from the head or oil filter housing? I'm still trying to decide what to do with my HX40.

Im going to go off the oil filter housing even though I have my balance shafts removed, I've got a restrictor thats gonna go on with it. Holsets do not like more than 72lbs of oil pressure.

I will be running a FP race manifold, mitsu flanged BEP housing and external wg off the o2 to control boost.

Yea I know all about the oil pressure issues. The threads on tuners easily took over my life for a week or two haha. I'm almost positive I'm going off the filter housing and was just wondering what you were going to do because some people still run off the head without balance shafts and don't have any problems. What restrictor are you going with? I like the FP one but don't really know how I feel about dropping like $80 on just the restrictor.

Yeah I cant see spending that much on an oil restrictor/filter. I got a restrictor from the turbo trader which is basically a welded fitting with a hole drilled through. I believe its drilled to .100

Looks good, aside from that bolt kit. I bought one of those and it was garbage. They were hard to take off once on and the coating came almost completely off. For the extra 10 or 15 bucks I would just go with the stainless kit from SSStuds.

Thanks again, should work out fine too, just gonna add some flex pipe to the dump tube to extend it and cover it in exhaust wrap to keep it from heating up the IC hot pipe.

I'll have 360 degree photos of the turbo when the housing comes in. lol :wink:

Yeah I kinda dropped the ball on that one. I did no research on ex hardware, my impulse spending got the best of me! :oops:

These came in today, only ordered two, one for the front and one for the rear for now. Figured the tranny and timing mount would be easier to do in the future whenever.
