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

I would seal up and remove the internal WG, and run an external. If I had to guess, I would say 57mm, .64a/r hot side?....

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.

nice, since it's bottom mount, you wont have those clearance issues with your intake pipe and the damn distributor right

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.
