Sensor sits just back from the opening, make sure the turbines blades spin freely by hand before running your car!

Black marks are from shipping and/or coating. Cosmetic only from the looks of it.

You can still see casting lines here, probably could have cleaned this up a little better. This is the forward-facing side, though this gets largely covered by the turbo.

THE FIX. Double nut and whack it with a hammer until straight. I chose a body hammer because of the reduced mass. Don't mind the apparent damage, it's just a reflection.

Stage8 hardware installed! I had to clearance the turbine housing a hair for the front two teardrops to get things to sit well enough to get those retainers on. Material removed was trivial and I took the minimum required to make it work. I made sure to leave no rough edges and keep things smooth, don't need any stress fractures now!

Missing bolt, oil gets squeezed out between the block and pump if it's missing.

Replaced with an M8 1.25 45mm - So far I'm oil free after some very spirited driving.
