Re: my homemade turbo kit (nerdsports)
Is it just me, or do you homemade turbo guys love porting out your turbos in that "special" way...? You and the guys from http://www.homemadeturbo.com get it on more with your cars than most guys do with their girlfriends.
And congrats on the install. RHB5 dominates the small terboughs.

Re: my homemade turbo kit (SiDESLiDE240)
what boost is the wastegate set to? Do you have any pics of just the turbo? if so, will you post'em up with a line showing which is the oil feed, and which is the oil drain?
