When I build my 2J I am going with a Turbosmart gate, probably only a 45mm though. Those things are no joke. Oh and the simple solution to boost creep is that you run more boost so it has nowhere to creep to :lol:

It looks to me like the outlet is too far around and at too much of an angle to the turbine to work properly ...hence the boost creep . Hope the bigger WG solves that for you.

N https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...a420fb1dd.jpeg Not my best but I got the flange on! Hopefully fabing up the dump tube this week. I’ve been stuck on night shift working outside on a turbine near the house. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...c3771858d.jpeg |
New header shield on, just need to throw the turbo back together, fab up a dump pipe and send some logs to Tuned by Shawn and I should be back in business! https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...090bda346.jpeg |

Well things have been going slow since it’s winter but I’ve decided to find some motivation and recover a lot of my interior bits. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...1fc4eaf33.jpeg No more cracked dash! https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...14c60694d.jpeg |

This looks great (idk if I would do my dash) was this merely spray adhesive and fabric?

Yep that’s all that it was. It’s a pain to do the door panels because they don’t really come apart. Doing the dash isn’t for everyone but mine was cracked and I have no airbags so I did it.
I will probably look into this once I get my car back. thanks! |

Thanks! It’s amazing how well it cuts down the temps. Night and day difference.

Did your buddy say how much he would charge someone for that wrap job?

Hey Joe,
With your original front mount intercooler setup could you retain air conditioning? I am assuming you don't have it now with your V mount. |
Pretty likely he doesn't since I don't see the low side line above the intake manifold in any of the pics...
