Default Got my GT40 turbo in today. Comparison pics to my 60-1 turbo

Well, on monday I called up precision turbo and talked to Rod Short. He gave me a great deal on this turbo. The specs are GT40 turbo with journal bearing. With an 88mm compressor wheel. They swapped out the garrett exhaust housing, which came with a 1.34AR, for a Precision exhaust housing with a Tang housing and an .81AR with a v-band flange. No real clearance issues either, so im happy. Im going to weld on an elbow onto the inlet for my intercooler piping. Can't wait to see how it performs this year. Here are some pics. Tell me what you think.








And here's my t04 60-1 with a .96AR and ceramic ball bearing. We'll see how I like it over this turbo.





And here are some camparison pics between the 60-1 and Gt40.






Here are the pictures of the test fit on my gti. Motor is being pulled out and going into a corrado.
