    I think you should paint your muffler flat black, would look really good.

    well, this is how it goes. 6 months ago I put in a brand new turbo w/o the coolant lines, this is the how it looked today.





    IDK if its visible, but there's oil everywhere on the compressor side. IDK what the f*** happened, but it aint good. Of course because it had a bullseye housing which are famous for snapping turbo bolts, all my bolts were trash, only one snapped. And I didnt think of that before and didnt have extra bolts, so quick trip to the hardware store and 30 bucks down the drain until the new bolts arrive.

    Me and Skrap hae been busting our asses all day to put it together and weld the new DP and stuff. The new setup is B16g with MHI 7cm housing, and full 3'' turbo-back exhaust, still running stock boost tho.

    First impressions were very positive. The B16g moves way more air than the S16g, and I did a couple of short pulls and it feels awesome. I'm having a small oil leak from one of the copper washers of the oil supply line fitting that i have to take care of.

    Dont have pics of the new setup today, but Ill take some tomarrow when I wake up

    Looks good man.

    Having all that oil in the comp housing is usually an indicator that an o-ring, or bearing (if there is any shaft play), let loose. You might be able to get a rebuild kit for the turbo and turn around and sell it on Ebay.

    Dude I used to have a BEP housing on my old 14b. Nightmare. I used brand new oem bolts with new oem spring washers, AND chased the threads of the housing with a tap everytime I took the bolts out. and it wasn't long before all four snapped. This is with 2000* anti-sieze as well.

    I installed the fancy shmancy ARP turbo bolts and washers.... and literally all 4 snapped in a week. Torqued to spec and everything.

    So i pawned my turbine housing off on some poor soul a loooooong time ago. The new turbine housings are made of cast stainless steel, but idk if that makes any kind of a difference.

    I never got around chasing the threads. This was the first time I took that turbo housing off since i put it in back in August and bolts were still f-ed up. Oh well. I like the MHI 7cm housing much better now. Boost comes soooo much earlier plus the B16g is awesome
