Yup, not denying that, but it can NOT come off, and that was my goal.

Yea thats what I figured too, it can come a little loose, but it wont unscrew and fall out. Switching it a bit would be good though, then you dont have to worry about it even loosening at all. Cool stuff!

Yeah. I had it wired like the pic at first, but it makes a tight bend around that corner, and I didn't like that, so that's how it is now, and how it will remain.

I just don't want to look one day and see only 2 bolts barely holding the turbo up (happened to me on the Talon, and is the reason I safety wire them now). They can probably loosen a half turn, but the bolts wont fall off which is my main concern.

Oh okay, that makes perfect sense actually. Sorry for being a doubter!

It's all good. What's kinda funny is when I put that pic up, I was wondering if you were going to say something :)

Nice job. Cant wait to see that thing on the dyno

Re: Project Lex
 
Did you have a turbo blanket for this thing? Will it clear the "ghetto bend"? LOL

Also, your camera has the loudest zoom evar.

Looking good, all those clearance issues for that turbo are somewhat of a pita, but you are tackling them one at a time!

What air fuel gauge is that? What controller do you use?

Are you getting this thing tuned anytime soon? I know you wanted to make MAP's event this year but didn't... Did this make you slow your roll on the car or are you still at full speed?
