Size and spec's. Why the internal gate? Was it a good deal? Manifold type? Spill it.

id prefer the wastegate for now, just in terms of low cost and alot less "attractive" i got a pretty good deal on it, its with a AVO cast iron manifold, with a couple of other goodies.
after calculating the inducer/exducer, i hope i calculated correctly to be 54mm trim, .84 A/R hotside [the hotside is stamped .84]. this is my first turbo and first time boosting a car. so im still reading and learing trough many of my friends.

i actually had the turbo for about a month or so now, but i been collecting some parts untill i thought i was ready for install.
Careful with that return line! the tubing can bend easily and backup into the turbo and blow past your seals into the exhaust! silicone tubing like http://turbosunleashed.com/shop/prod...roducts_id=156 will be much more resistant to that bending.
nice, since it's bottom mount, you wont have those clearance issues with your intake pipe and the damn distributor right
exactly, only issue i had was the heat shield, but the rest should be fine.

thanks for pointing that out, the way my turbo is mounted though doesnt have too much bends for the oil return but ill get silicone just in case
