My turbo lives again!!
So I installed my turbo again this weekend, and had Jestr come flash it so I can break it in before getting it dyno tuned again. Everything went great except for one thing, which I will get to later. Here are pics of the install!!
My gauge setup: SunPro vac/boost, AEM UEGO, Prosport Oil Pressure
The mishap that I had: tightened the oil feed adapter too tight and I cracked the block! luckily I was able to get a mobile welder to come and TIG it up and then I used some heavy duty metal epoxy on the inside threads and on the outside of it when I screwed in the adapter. no more leaks and everything is fine
Here is a random video my roommate took of me doing some soldering (had to lengthen the MAF sensor wires to reach the new location).

I will try and take some vids tomorrow and post them up!

Yeah ill definitely be careful, 500 mile break in period then dyno tune! the wastegate/MBC (which are both Forge btw) is set for about 5.5 psi, but not even hitting that, the car is much faster!
