I worked 3rd trick for about 3-4 years, also glad to be done with it. Now I've "moved up" to 2nd trick! I might hold daylight in 5 more years or so. If the pay wasn't so good I'd quit in a heartbeat.

 

More potentially bad news... I just noticed that the bottom hole for the wastegate is drilled off-center on the mani. I looked up several photos of the cast iron version and it appears to be similarly off-center. My concern here is that my downpipe may not match up if the WG isn't positioned the same. I'd rather not have to have it cut and re-welded to fit. Hopefully there's enough play between the studs and mounting holes.

 

when are you installing? good luck!

 

Possibly tomorrow. Thanks!

Edit: Definitely not tomorrow. I have to wait for new SS hardware to arrive and a new Mishimoto 61C thermostat. I can barely get to the T-stat with the turbo installed so it will be much easier to do both at the same time.
