Nice baby photos... that compressor housing certainly is as smooth as a baby's butt! How much boost are you planning to run with it? I have a 46trim T04E hybrid (though certainly not as pretty) that I'm planning on having at 18psi through redline. I can't wait, either!

Anybody will notice this ain't original part. But who cares since you are racing on the track anyway.
Looks really nice...

Very pretty! I like polished bits. It's a shame to have to install it so deep in the engine bay.

Hah! you guys are a bunch of comedians. Perambulator == pram google tells me
Yep Pauerman sorted this for me, thanks Vic! - also came with a gasket thingo for mapping the oil line from square to round hole, and some water pipe fittings so that the water pipe doesn't need bending.
Not sure if the throttle return spring will need adjustment and maybe some grinding on the cold side that i read about some of you needing to do.
I'm letting the shop do the install, so i won't be able to claim turbo installer cred. Am going to be sacrifcing enough weekends already completing the tune for my MAF chips.
Will let u know how it turns out. I have some bosch 52#ers to go in also, but i plan to tune 1st for the stock injectors first & then tackle the 52#ers in the second interation.
cheers

good point Kevin, have got the thermotec kit for the hot side, down and crossover - others have posted good results with wrapping so am giving this a spin also. Won't be able to fully wrap the headers at this stage though as they arn't coming off. Hopefully that will help spoolup.

18psi sounds about right!
