🆒 Looks good Doug! :bigthumb: That front mount and those hoses should work for you. Those IHI turbo’s, even at higher boost aren’t going to be powerful enough to blow off/apart silicone hoses. … however, please tell me your not using the oil lines to hold that turbo while it’s on the stand in place in those pictures :squint: ---

Looks good doug. Did you tear the motor down? or just clean off the piston domes?? I dont know if A-1 does any headwork. I dont think they do but im not entirely sure. Powerhouse Performance does headwork but i have no experience with them. A dude i seen with a b16 head said he had his done there. I guess it came out good but I know they dont have a flow bench. Maybe its not totally neccesary to have a flowbench but i know even when i had mine done it was nice to have flow #'s to check the work. ---

i didn t really ask him for head work… because im low on funds this month due to me just working on my car instead of selling shit… i just wanna get this thing put together as i sprayed the engine bay black! so motor needs to get back in !
