Only issue is one of the DP housing bolt holes needs to be repaired. ill just have the shop helicoil it. I do need a flange for the exhaust housing though and I cant seem to find one that will fit that 4 bolt pattern. Came with a spare backing plate with a carbon seal in it if I wanted to go draw through.

Where'd you get it and how much did it set you back? Looks like it's in decent shape... much shaft play?

Got it off a turbo regal site. $65 shipped. It has some side to side play but no front to back. The backing plate looks new guy said he recently had it rebuilt. Also came with a spare backing plate with a carbon seal. Story goes the guy had it on a car (drawthrough) and it was sucking a ton of oil. He sent it off to be rebuilt. Got it back did the same thing then realized it needed a carbon seal. bought the parts never put them on and lost interest in the car.

looks good. are you putting that on a single cam ??

looks like that 3 bolt flange is the same as a stock a6 ex manifold, or is close enuff to mock up

Its going on this... how can you tell if the side to side play is too much? I can barely wiggle it and it does not touch the housings at all.

you should be able to make that 4 bolt flange easy enough. i made all of my flanges for my turbo with a bandsaw, torch and grinders

SpankedYA!

Just get flanges for a Grand National and everything will be fine.

bitchasscracker

it should jiggle some its a floating bearing. so if it isnt touching the walls your good.

Scott-EP

is that a general rule of turbos? i just got a turbo with some side play but no end play and it doesnt touch the housing

ChevyIIMan

Yeah cant seem to find those.
