i didn't continue with the 7M, i swapped in a 2jz, which i used this turbo on it. i was amazed by it, gonna get another one next year when i do the swap again
Just figured id post up some new pictures of the progress. The engine in the car is a mock up so I can dry fit parts and build the front facing intake manifold and exhaust manifold for the new turbo.

nice! did you get a whole new block, head, brake stuff and everything!?!?!?
that engine bay looks like it will look sweet...
i wonder what it would look like if you painted parts of your turbo that candy apple red... beautiful color.

Everything was blasted. I'm actually going to be selling those valve covers, I got custom CNC ones coming that I designed to hold the 1J coil packs. I'm getting those Candy red also.
Here are some of the CAD Drawings I did for my engine. The Turbo is for a school project.

i've heard horror stories about the longevity and functionality of those turbos, is that why you are replacing it next year? how long have you had it, any issues?

Haven't ran it yet, but i had a local turbo shop tare it down, They checked it out and balanced it. A buddie of mine is running one and has put over 10,000 miles on it with no problems.
