Re: Pics of my new turbo... and a question
it aint gonna fit on a normal t3 flange.... you have to mill it so it will be flat out.
i need to do it tommorow....btw.
but it seems that most shops dont wanna touch it (mabey because it will ruin the blade?)
anyone have a picture of the stock volvo gasket for this turbo?

Worked pretty well.
What about it being level? And what kind of belt did you use? I'm really quite shocked it'd even do much of anything.

Level, the heads? LOL. Aluminum heads are flexible, you can torque out 0.003-0.006" worth of warpage, and a composite headgasket will accomodate another 0.003". Never had a problem, must have done 9-12 heads like that.
As for the flanges... guys on the jyturbo list level their own T3 flanges, when they get warped from welding, with run of the mill sandpaper stapled to a block of wood. *shrug* Soft cast is going to be easier to sand on than a mild steel flange. But, like I said, it's going to take a minute.
