Been a little bit. Update on my new turbo...

Since I'm too lazy to type the long story back out, I'm going to refer you guys to the thread on SF.

I'll be swapping the new turbo tomorrow. 60-1. Hopefully it fixes my coolant loss, but I'm coming to my senses and getting out of BHG denial I think. If indeed it is,
going with the OEM nate gave me (thanks nate) and arp studs. MHG will have to wait for my funds.

Moved to Supra Build Up/Gallery, I don't see a tech question.

Congrats, you just bought an MR 2 turbo.

Will work, but I don't know if any aftermarket supra down pipes will fit.

:-(

Yes it does not look right at all.

Finally got the turbo today guys.

Will be installing tomorrow night if anyone wants to join in the washington area! Send me a PM or something.

Thats a supra turbo alright, not an MR2.

Great work by who ever did it (from what I can see)... they took a to4e center section, and stuffed a ct rear and front housing on to it.

haha yeah,
couple people on SF noticed it luckily, and I'm going to go pick up a custom fit oil pressure and return line tomorrow from Aaron at RabidChimp if you've heard of him. He's got a 7mgte mk2 I believe...

haha, yeah I knowwwwww.
We might need to retorque it for now till I get some money, but I've got an OEM that graciouslly gave me, and I just need ARP's and my mechanic said he could hook me up with machine work for 40-60 bucks!

I think this thread deserves an update!
The car is running, and feels strong!
Now kyle really needs to do something about that damn turbo elbow!

We've also re-torqued his headbolts, and burped his cooling system (as well as we could without waking more than 1 neighbor at almost 4am!)

So Kyle, how are those coolant levels looking?

haha,
true
this did need an update.
Turbo is boosting hard at 9psi.
I think it's where the turbo and the block leak that I have the exhaust leak yarden.

Haven't checked since yesterday, but they looked good.
