Got the turbo on today... found out that my 14b had some 1 or 2 bent compressor fins, no shaft play though.
I have a small coolant leak coming from one of my water lines. I'll fix that and take it for a ride tomorrow.
I preoiled the journal with lucas break in additive, the turbo looks nice and seems to spoil quicker than the 14b did. I revved the car to 5k and hit 4psi, i thought most turbos would only do that with 2 step.
I will post pics tomorrow and hopefully have a video soon.

Oh dear lord. Why do you own a turbo car, again?

Today I went for about a 20 mile drive... wholy cow this thing flows so much more than my old warn out 14b. I broke it loose at 50mph at 14psi on one good pull. Other than that i'm going to be conservative for about a week. I'm going to dyno tune, then begin the test of longevity. I will post pics and videos very soon.

Ha ha rubber neck, never heard that one. I'm running on falken 215/45Z fk452's, I get decent traction but not good enough to stick on hard pulls from down low. The turbo starts spooling from 2500~2800rpms and have full spool around 3600. It's buttery smooth boost compared to my tired 14B. I love waking up and going to work for the mere fact of getting to drive my car, i'm in l-o-v-e. My girlfriend is already jealous of it and I have only had it two months.
I'm getting a minor water coolant leak at the fittings on the turbo, that seems to be the only problem.

LOL!!! I'll donate to that account, once I start to get any play with this turbo. Yesterday I participated in a local autocross event, the turbo definitely has a lot more lag than my last turbo. I knew that was going to happen, however, the sacrifice was not in vain. I love how hard it hits up top. So far I have over 2,000 miles...
