He said there is no shaft play and whatnot. I think when I get it i'll clean it up and whatnot. Maybe even sleep with it.

I guess I'll go with 2.5" exhaust. I hear WRX's run over 10ibs. of boost and they have 2.5" exhaust. Oh well. We shall see!

Thanks

Our D16z6 hatch runs straight 2.5 mandrel exhaust, with a 24in resonator, no cat and a Apexi-N1 exhaust, it sounds very clean.

Is $340 shipped a decent price for this turbo?

I can vowge (did I spell that right) for the power loss from a cat, I had a exhaust leak on the weekend, smoked a big *** rock and it bent the two flanges where the dumppipe connects to the exhaust and ended up wrecking the gasket and loosing the bolts that hold the two together. Ended up driveing around with open dumppipe and holy ---- what a performance gain, I am definitely putting in a test pipe when I get it made.

Change of plans guys, an auction was just thrown up on ebay, and I had to BUY IT NOW. I'm going to take a chance and see what it's like, because i was afraid if i emailed him questions that it would have been BOUGHT BY NOW. SO i'll take pics when it arrives.....I got a killer deal on it.
