Ultimate decision is FaeFlora's of course. Manifold maybe if it'll fit, downpipe unlikely cause my car needs to get on the road ASAP and it's getting busy enough at work to work at least some Fridays. BBUUTTTT my new manifold/downpipe on my own car may be simple to remove so who knows.

Trivia Fun Time
My new turbo is an OEM replacement turbo. On her very first guess, my GF pinpointed the exact OEM application for this turbo. If anyone else can do this I will snuggle with you tonight too.

More pics courtesy of my girlfriend.

You're all wrong, it's the turbo from the popemobile.

I want to guess it's from something obscure, like a mercedes delivery van or something.

Nobody's gotten it correct so far. It's not very obscure.

Some sort of 10L diesel tractor motor, further explaining how rediculous this is?

Didn't the Cummins turbo diesels switch to borg warners from Holset?
