Help with the hotside

Hi,

I need help with the 10.5 hot-side to get it fit on the FP Green turbo. Being on another continent, it is impossible for me to ship it to FP for machinning, so I've finally found a local shop willing to machine it for me. But the problem is that I need the specs to which to machine it to. Basically, the only thing I need to know, is the diameter of the lip marked with green arrow on the attached pic. So could someone please be so kind an measure it for me. Or if someone just knows the specs, please, let me know.

Your help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks

Just one more thought - maybe someone knows what should be the gap between the wall of the hotside and compressor blades? This will also help.

Do you mean the gap between the hotside and the turbine blades?

Yes, that's exactly what I meant (sorry if it was unclear)

I can get some measurements of a housing that has been cut for the Green turbine in about three hours. I left my spare housing back at home.

Have you tried calling FP and explaining the situation? Fp has great customer service they might be willing to help.

Calling would be very expensive from here unfortunately. But I wrote them an e-mail - if I get an answer, I will let you guys know.

Hey, sparky,

Any luck with the measurement yet?

Or anyone other who could help.
I really need to know this stuff, as the turbo is the only thing holding me from getting my car back (which by the way has been in the garage for more than a year , and I really can't wait any more). So please, guys and girls, help me get my car running before this summer ends.

I still haven't got any answer and FP didn't answer my e-mails either.

Maybe someone from US can call them and ask the info for me? I'm ready to paypal some money to the person who gives me the answer.

Thanks.
