Has anyone here clocked one of these little suckers???
I got one in a 2nd hand DIY kit I bought, and it appears that it comes (naturally) off a bottom mounting manifold - the manifold I have is a copy of the GReddy top mount manifold, so the oil return ends up sticking out of the top of the turbo.
I started to try and do it myself, but having undone the locking ring I can't get it to budge. I stopped at that point because I wasn't sure if there is actually something else holding these turbos together, and the last thing I need is to bust it while tinkering. Once the locking ring os off should the whole thing seperate in the middle, or is it otherwise held together by internal connections?
Is there a locating pin stopping me from rotating the housings relative to eachother to help 'crack' it? Any tips on how to coerce it to come apart and not damage anything?
Thanks in advance.

ok well the 14b got sold before i could grab it
and im wondering, how bad would it be to get the EVO3 "big" 16g? does it breform better than the t3? its only going to be ran sub 10psi for a few months, eventually im rebuilding the whole engine after I get to my first duty station to hold higher boost
i was originally wanting to get a subie when i finished tech training but decided I would rather make my car fit me the way i like it instead
my dad asks me why i want to spend money on a 16 year old car if i can get in a wreck tomarrow and they pay me less than its worth, my view is i wreck it its just an excuse to buy FM's new westfield with the claim money

Not bad at all. In fact if you get it, you'll have all the turbo you'll ever need. (unless you're truly demented ) You can always keep an eye out for another 14b, and have the ability to run either. The thing about the 14b and 16G variants is that people get rid of them all the time as they upgrade to something else. It's easier to find a good deal.
Are you working at IA now? I gotta get off my butt here and go meet those dudes.
Will be answered with the first turbo'd "demo" ride.

sorry bout the late reply,
no i dont work for IA, though half the staff are my friends, they will do a Great job, by tech training I was meaning the military, but i kinda decided to stay in town get a college degree and then go in as an officer..
well ive got a few things for sale to partially fund my project including nightvision, my old paintball stuff, rc, cars, subs etc. to get it moving alittle quicker, i cant wait for that first sound of spool!
