Emilio sent out my clutch so I should be able to start putting it back together next week
I have the car apart with the engine out, so I will not be able to post before data unless I can find an older log. Any easy way to determine what gear the log is in?

Turbo is here. It is not seized or broken in half. Always a good sign right?
Looks small compared to old turbo. Came in Emusa branded box.
What do people run for filters on such small inlets? I was running a vatozone cone, but it will be too large in diameter even with their adapters.

with 0.64 AR t2 housing and a short runner manifold you could probably get close to 3,500.
t3 housing you will need a small a/r to make 3,500rpm spool on a tater, and then your cutting your top end down.

There is always an adapter coupler that will work. if its a metric diameter, you can get the couplers without the inner braid one sized down and stretch it on. Its the inlet side, so there will be no boost to balloon it out. If you do this, it will be floppy, so you will need to brace the filter to either the engine or the chassis somehow.
