The 54mm T25 .86a/r turbine flows nearly the same as the 60mm .63a/r T3 housing. I've been told that the T25 turbine is more efficient, though, and the smaller wheel means less inertia and less repsonse. I'll take the 2871R .86 over a 60mm 3071R .63 any day.

I was googling a bit to see if I could find a part number for Falcon's Nissan RB26 OEM Inconel studs that are mentioned earlier and I came up with nothing. Has anyone figured that out?
I did think it was cool that on 3 different forums (Nissan, VW and Honda), they all referenced Savington's gear and said things like 'the miata guys seem to have solved the problem'. I guess we're famous!
This might be slightly off topic but my MSM runs an upgraded IHI turbo that is tame by comparison here and I'm at or slightly over spec miata record times so I'm not driving as hard as many here (yet). The stock MSM design does a good job of supporting the turbo but I was having chronic problems with my downpipe studs coming out. I decided to kill the fly with the sledgehammer and installed Sav's kit to hold on my DP and it hasn't budged since (~10 track days and a few thousand street miles). Overkill, but at least I'm done with it.

While sourcing Resbond in Europe (found it!) I came upon this info:
Also, there are 4 versions:
(color, viscosity, shear strength)
- green, 2000mPa*s, 255N/cm2
- blue, 5000mPa*s, 275N/cm2
- red, 7000mPa*s, 310N/cm2
- gold, 15000mPa*s, 344N/cm2
We all know the Red version, but I'm tempted to think gold would be best, given that it has the highest shear strength?
Resbond 907-TS are low viscosity liquids in fine cracks crawl. They are thus ideally suitable for sealing of cables or as Screw locks. The thread locking or sealing of the gap is crystallization of the ceramic mass. I.e., the resulting crystals get stuck in the gap and secure this. The adhesive effect is, however, by not reached. They are electrically insulating, opposite resistant to most chemicals and solvents and can be used for sealing metal and
Ceramic. Curing takes place at room temperature (24hrs). This material is available in 4 different viscosities and can be used up to temperatures of 1150 ° C be.

Good, more info. Well the threads in my manifold are definately a little 'wide' from all the loosening i've had. Time for timeserts or the like, but Gold is also on my list as it will fill larger gaps... in for opinions.

Let us know how it works. We have only ever used the "correct" stuff for the application (red) but it has worked great and we have had no reason to try anything else.
