My vote if you want wrinkle black plenum(gross IMO)
Ceramic coat your turbo scroll and manifold silver, compressor cover wrinkle black, plenum wrinkle black, and valve covers white(same as engine gay) and black spark plug cover.

What did you put into the 7M? Just wondering. And I won't pick on you for your obvious inferior downgrade.

I had the 7M for about 2 years the last time around and blew about 4 headgaskets (my fault) I love racing and i abused the hell out of the motor day in and day out
I was about 8,000 into the 7M over a 2 year period
The 7M was Making just about 400whp at the end.
Ya he didnt want to take the block and head out to get milled to go metal HG. I believe it was cause it was his only dd

That looks fairly good. To me anyway. Is that turbo the same one as the near the begining of the thread with the 58 hotside? That seems a bit small. It works ok on a 7M. There is more than just response, you don't want to choke it where your engine will start pulling hard. I will be following.

Nick the Turbo in the the first page was a T4 POS that was given to me with the Motor it ws a .58 cold side and 1.01 hotside Garrett turbo looked to be off a Diesel.
I bought from Albert a T67 .70 Coldside and .75 exhaust side T3 housing and will be bolting it to a T4 Manifold.
The old turbo is just a huge paper weight that someone can have if they really want it lol
