The thing is I've seen eBay manifolds with an eBay turbo on other peoples cars and it seams that I had to cut WAY MORE off my block just to get it to fit. I shaved the nameplate on the turbo and used 3 gaskets on the manifold them clocked the turbo as much as I could. Still I had to shave my block until I could literally see the flywheel. WTF
I put it on and removed it like 10 times

Here are some more pics.
I drilled the oil pan out with my christmas tree bit. I put the hole were the dip stick went so the dip stick wasn't going in all way and leaking oil from the tube so I had to cut it a bit. I could have used the same oil pan that was on there before but the copper fitting I welded on with a brass rod just wasn't working for me.
Old setup.

I really don't like the sound the wastegate makes during boost and need to make a wastegate pipe for it. I'm still deciding between dumping to the ground which seams more strait forward or going back to the exhaust. After I put my wideband on it and get a boost controller I'll probably turn it up to 10 psi.
Also even at 5 psi the carb spring set up had noticeably more torque.
