Had to remount the IC and Bumper for more room. Also had to trim/fit a new silicone coupler to the IC. Overall not too bad but man did it kick my ass. ---

Wow, that new turbo looks quite a bit larger than my billet S484 with the V3 wheel and race cover. My turbo is only slightly larger that my friends S475 cast turbo with a standard cover and your turbo looks like it dwarfs your S480! They said the hole in the cover is for a compressor wheel speed sensor, but not sure what kind of sensor you would use or what you would do with the data. Lol. I’m sure you don’t want to over spin the turbo, but not sure how you would adjust that. ---

Yeah the new race cover and 1.58 housing added some size for sure! No clue on the speed sensor and will probably never run it haha. ---
