Thanks for all the comments guys. I made some vids today with a camera phone.

The first one is a 4 gear pull

The second one is just the hf boost gage

And the third is just a desert road

Not a bad setup, what did you pay for everything?

Looks like you're running only 5lbs; you need to crank it up to 10 before you feel anything.

and then i kept it at 10 with a little gift of 12 before it got to 5 k and stabalized down to 10

OK so that old Nissan turbo was leaking oil from the turbine side probably due to a worn shaft piston ring. I needed another turbo but didn't want to spend to much and still needed to keep a/c and ps. I had some bad luck buying old turbos so I went for a CHING CHONG MIAOW!

The turbo was being sold for 135 but had an option to make an offer so I offered 130 and it was excepted. It came with an oil supply line and restrictor and for six dollars more you can get an oil return fitting with it. When I received the turbo I was very surprised to find something else in the box, and no it wasn't little grains of rice. It was a 1/2 in downpipe flange!

heres the oil supply and return fittings


and here is the turbo with part of the downpipe I made.


I made this downpipe with my new (to me) lincoln weld-pack hd 100

Much better looking exhaust, grind those welds man. DAMN! lol

You should purchase a wideband next. Good start, lovin where it's heading also.

I then went down to parkers and spent about $50 bucks to complete my oil return line I got an aluminum bulkhead fitting assembly, a -10an 90 and one foot of blue hose. I used some hondabond on the bulkhead and really cranked down on it so it wont leak.
