Ok... so we'll be using the stock oil lines... will that be ok? will have to bend it a bit to make it fit??

I used my stock lines yeah but its no need to bend them.
They fit 100% just with a bit of a stretch. But I'm thinking of getting braided lines just coz it looks better.

Sooo.... 3 days it took me and A|fy to change that damned turbo!! but it was all worth it! the car has no leaks or funny noises what so ever, temp running fine and car pulling like a beast!
It doesn't have that sudden kick though... Its strong from word go! and it just revs. 155km/h in 3rd, hooked 4th and in a matter of seconds 175km/h... tapped off and put in 5th... the road was wet so didn't want to crash alfy's car doing 180km/h!
so for anyone who runs a CA i recommend this turbo! Its very nice!
The next mods for him is a FMIC, Piggyback ECU and a good tune.
a few pics to come tonite

Sweet man...
Thats kinda weird that there is no lag...Doesn't the car ping? mmm
I know I took my lag away by advancing my timing a lot but I pinged.
