U mean the aluminum "shavings" of the blade and housing....checked the pipes and so forth...spoke to some people and the consensus is that I don't need to worry to much, if there was bigger parts of the blade broken off that would be a problem....but it looks like very very fine "dust" almost...should have gone in and out without causing damage...

Something I have not mentioned, due to the top mount mani being of such a nature that you have to remove the power steering pump and bracket to install or remove the many, I decided to remove the aircon pump, the aircon is now out, aswell as the aircon radiator, next thing is the abs....

The new turbo, in the end I went to Hannes Minnaar, TurboDirect was not very helpful, maybe I asked to much, in the end all I got was an email telling me that I can only get my goal with a bb turbo.

Made contact with Hannes, was alot more helpful then he was preveously, very friendly and even said if everything is done and I am not happy with the turbo, I can come back and he will change housing and so forth to make my goal. Very impressed.

He started smallish, mainly because I asked that we try and keep lag at it's minimum....

Specs: TO4e AR50 comp housing, I think 53 or 54 trim comp wheel, ar48 housing with new desighn garrett exhaust wheel(stage 3).

Thanks!!

A whole R4500....all genuine Garrett parts....he even made a plan for the exhaust housing, told him I had the 5 bolt setup so he got me a 5bolt exhaust housing so that I don't need to change downpipe flange...

I am now also waiting for Obsession to send me a invoice, ordering water/meth kit and some some...

Already baught 3 x 25L Methanol = R600 Snould last me a year... :twisted: :twisted: [smilie=200sx_angel.gif]
