Andyfloyd - can you tell me where it's gonna crack and how to avoid it? Although taken that I'll be fitting a SS bracket from the bolt hole on the top of the turbine housing to the block to assist in bearing the weight.
I don't know what a Megan manifold is (although I dated a girl named Megan many years ago - she had a nice manifold) - anyway the turbo is a TDO4 15? G
I realise it looks from that photo that I'm gonna have troubles routing the intake pipe from the compressor - the perspective is a bit wrong but the custom pipe has been fabricated and goes over that u-bend, through the guard and curves under to meet the IC. You'll all see it next week.

Counting the extra stuff I've done since the intention to turbo I'm under $3.5K AUD including upgraded radiator, mazdaspeed LSD, upgraded clutch, turbo rebuild, fabrication and install of custom IC pipework in SS.
At the end of the day - the parts list isn't random, and I'm not real fussed if it's a TD04 15G or a 13G 14B or a whatever. I'm advised by the previous owner of what he was setting out to achieve, and I'm pretty much following his plans.
