I noticed that your turbo is positioned very close to the Power Steering reservoir. Mine is similar to this and I noticed over the weekend past that after 8 laps at Zwartkorps, the turbo heats up the PS fluid and boils over... I think a heat shield of sorts will help a helleva lot.

:wink:
hey man it strange you have his prob as ive ran my turbo next to the tank even closer than what it is now and never had a problem

but ill move it just to be safe

How is that proof they do fit? You can clearly see the exhaust ports don't line up. You will eventually have pieces of gasket flying into the turbine if you don't trim them to match.

OK bud not having a dig, just pointing out what I can see.
And even with the angle of the camera I'm not certain they line up correctly. But hey ho it's your car and you do with it what you want like.

No negative vibes intended dude
