The quality is so awsome!! The exhaust ports match up to the block very good, much less restriction than the apexi manifold. I wish I had the digital camera with me to take a picture of the turbo's sitting next to each other on the floor, the apexi looks very tiny on the exhaust side.

Well we've actually got it rigged up so there is a 4inch pipe that is welded to the back of the turbo, then it tapers down and we cut the downpipe end off and slid it inside the taper, and welded it all together. The downpipe and turbo are one piece, that rotated corrected slides right into place. We had to cut the downpipe back past the 02 sensor hole, so tomorrow we're going to re-install the bung in the new pipe. And for whatever reason I can't use the dump tube cause it doesn't line up correctly and hits into the wastegate, so I think i'm just gona leave it dumping on the ground like before instead of spending the time to weld it too.

Yeah thats how I feel about it too, so when it didn't match up easily I was like "well damn that sucks.....ok not really"

Most people I know gave up and routed theirs back into the downpipe. It's nice to see there are still some troopers out there. Now I just need to be brave enough to try out my new turbo.
