Ordered another yellow tape box!!
I ordered some items from Clay again today!
EBC Green Stuff front Pads
Turbo Rebuild kit with all new bolts.
I will be installing a 1.0 exhaust housing w/waste gate ceramic coated that I have had for over a year waiting to be put on also. Now I just have to wait for the shipment.

I always like the sound of Stinky's whistle, but I have mixed emotions when I hear the UPS truck backup beep: I know what it took to get the truck to arrive... a smoldering Buck$Zooka.

If you are a supporter/member of FTE I would think it would be very rare if you have not seen the yellow tape. I will probably see a rolls worth show up here this year.

Not to take away from how awesome that Turbo looks painted red, but replacing the exhaust gaskets look really really easy... (Atleast once the turbo is out of the way). I've been holding out for bellowed, but that's like uber simple, especially if a turbo reseal is due.

Did you change the lower pedestal o-rings, as well? It'd be a good time to do them now. I changed mine when I did my turbo mods several years ago and put the blank pedestal on. I recently changed out my 38R (leaking oil) and swapped to a billet wheel. I figured I wouldn't press my luck any further. I cleaned up the pedestal and put in fresh o-rings.

Lower as where the turbo mounts yes. Beyond that no. I wish I had the funds for the EBPV rebuild kit. Once I got it apart I found that it has been leaking a little. Having the Turbo out of the way does make it a little easier. The hardest part of getting it apart and back together is the collector (Baby Butt). Thats where I got hung up at last night. I threw in the towel at about 7 o'clock. I also Changed out the exhaust housing that I had purchased over a year ago. USA 1.0 housing ceramic coated. Yes the Red Paint gives it a bit more Special Character.

Lower; as where pedestal bolts to the block. Good time to do them, so there's no regrets later.

Its to late as I already have the turbo already mounted. Live and learn. I would take back apart but this is my DD so I have to have it back together today as Monday I return to work. I wish I had extra hands around that I could trust to do these upgrades as they would go much quicker. Having to stop for a beer break and eating.
