OK. So I emailed clay but haven't had a response yet. I'm betting he's been busy and is trying to get things figured out for me a bit.
So can I get new up pipes on this thing or am I going to need to replace a lot of stuff?
I know you made a bit of a list but Clay says all I need to do is replace a couple things.
So do I need a new turbo? Can I fit new pipes with what I have?
If I need a new turbo then I'll just patch what I have. I'll also wait on clay's email and get his suggestions.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

If you want to go to bellowed up pipes you need to do a turbo swap. If you are just looking to patch things up for the time (like I'm going to do) then you just need some small block Chevy exhaust donuts and new O-rings for the turbo and pedistal, assuming that your up pipes aren't damaged.

I don't think they're damaged. Maybe we can get together for a couple hours this week and take a peek. What do you think?
I'm also still waiting to hear back from Clay to see what he thinks. Maybe I'll give him a buzz.

They probably aren't damaged unless a previous owner did a hack job on them of some sort. I've seen photos where they have slipped out of the baby's butt and stuff, and I just don't know if thats caused by a serious failure of the donut or if they somehow get damaged. I need to do a search I guess 
I might have time Thursday evening, and I should have time on Friday (usually my day off)- just let me know.
