Well, I took all the pics, so I'll post them up for S2kracka!
Wow, we went to town on this thing today. This morning, tear down. Took off stock manifold, 6cm turbine housing, o2 housing, and everything else inbetween. Chris picked up a 2G Exhaust manifold and a cheap SS o2 housing off of slowboy (andrew, not the a'holes in indiana or whatever) for $30, using the remaining $30 in this $100 fund.
For those young'ins out there, here's what the stock 1G manifold looks like (going into the turbo):
We cleaned up the 'new' 2G manifold a bit and ported it a bit extra. Here's what it looks like up to the same 7cm gasket:
Looking down the throat of the turbine housing, we saw this mess:
Ugh....so Hughes looks up on my shelf and spies a little jem that I've been waiting throw away for a while, it has literally been in the trash 2-3 times and each time I take it back out, throw it up on a shelf....I guess for this day! I owed chris lunch, and he decided this would be a fair trade instead, a fully ported 7cm turibine housing:
It was a little rough, so we cleaned it up and Hughes put a little further porting magic onto it:
Then stuck it all together with the o2 housing:
