Hi Walter, please be very careful of the waste gate location. If somethng hit it/bend it, you could over boost.

I think a lot of people use the GT30Rs here for 2.0 - 2.2L engines, with good results, but these aren't Aircooled VW engines, so who knows...

Heat on the outer CV could also be a problem especially when stationary after a power run and its glowing red hot

. You could kill two birds with a heat/impact shield over the waste gate and exhaust side of the turbo.

Great looking (re) install

. I would not worry about the closeness of the turbine to the outer CV as I have my turbo installed in the same location with no issues.

My exhaust pipe was actually 19mm away from the inner sidewall of the rear passenger tire and no problems after some hard runs and then sitting. The cooling airflow in that location is a bonus

Looking forward to the upcoming performance reports
