Sup guys, so finally I had some time this weekend to start my single turbo conversion. My buddy (OrlRedMKIII) and I went to work on removing the twins. Well, as everyone know it is a PITA. :cry:

So here are some before and after pics.

That turbo looks awsome! I was going to buy a T-70 but i think the T-61 is more suited to a 1jz. I can't wait to see what this turbo does!
BTW your engine bay looks amazing!

Yeah I'm hoping this will go smooth as plan. I need to get new exhaust studs. Are the studs from 2j same as 1j?

*** Turbo single project is DONE *** Finally I get to drive my car.

Car runs awesome and I couldn't be more happier as everything went well with nothing major to deal with. Here are some pics.
