Great that you are enjoying the fruits of your labors.

What FW did you end up with? Did you ever find out why some gave funny issues?

Why no break back? V-Maxx?

Is the bigger turbo working much better now that you have adjusted the wastegate?

I got my car weighed on scales. 2350 pounds

2001 se with lightweight rims, tires, battery, no spare, dynapro radials, p/s delete.

i am losing track of what car is whos on this site, hope that helps you. Weight in the vd makes a huge difference as well as having a level road.

I doubt your car is heavier than his NB2 SE. Only car that's heavier than that is the MSM. But it's still a good reference point, at least you can compare to it later

if it's off by even 1mm in any single place, the turbo will spool like poo

I believe the 3 turbo's that I have tried that fit my setup all have the same hotside compressor wheel and housing. At least as far as I have seen. I ordered the turbo that OP is running and it should be to me on Monday. I will pull it apart and measure then.

I am pretty sure Sonofthehill has been using the same exhaust housing on his car and just swapping the CHRA's around.
