Yes! Amber was super helpful, I added the porting and coating to mine so I won't be seeing it for a little while longer but I'm not in a particular time crunch.

My main issue was that it took 16 business days to respond to my questions

Took them 1 day to charge my card though
They are a bit slow via email..but you have to assume they are inundated with emails. Their website said they will coat housings for free, if you send yours in. We'll see.

Awesome. Let us know how it goes. Was there a concern about it coming with the wrong turbine housing?

There is no concern and it is not the wrong turbine housing, I am just a bit surprise that there are still available and brand new.

Ooh, gotcha. They scored a few, a while back. Unfortunately, supplies are limited.
I'm surprised they are so cheap. If I had $1600, I'd buy a new one and save my housing.

the 10.5 dual flapper is what comes with the TME turbo. thats how he gets the housings. he cant get them separate. he has to buy complete turbos. thats also why he has been selling TME/71 turbos with no exhaust housings..

I wonder just how rare the MHI hotsides really are. Blouch and Owen developments still sell them as well. When/if the supply truly dries up, I am sure someone will make a replacement. Maybe with 3D printing.

They no longer offer my old TiAl wheel. So this may be the last of them (again)?

I had once both hot sides, I compared them and the dual flapper is heavier. Some people do not like that housing, me, I think it is less prone to crack:

I would port those outlets, they look small. I remember reading the dual flapper housings can creep. I think it was in Erik's build thread because his Red also came with that housing, and someone linked a DSM froum thread where a few guys were having boost creep and had to port the outlets...

The one that you see on my picture is ported already.
Both housings are prone to boost creep, I had it with my FP black and it has the single flapper housing.
