back with a small update, today i took apart the turbo it came with, i think the turbo might of bin dropped or something was dropped on it. the waste gate lever (what ever you call it) seams to be bent.. i think its supposed to have a small bent but not as much as it does. also the bracket were it mounts on to the turbo seams to be bent....

im stuck on taking the compressor housing off. i want to check it out, make sure there isnt anything out of the ordinary. like i said im stuck. i cant get the housing off. there a special trick i should know about? anything i should look for?

i did a little research and i think i have the "Kouki" engine, that the jdm version? i can tell by the turbo having the different waste gate(two passages) and also were the exhust flows in to the turbo is different ( both ports are the same size). something alse that is different is my upper intake manifold, i have the longer one witch came one the "kouki"

 

nice
