So I spent the Thursday night meet with my fellow TST members at Area1320 watching them install my newly ported turbo. With little issue Ryan did a great job for me again and had it installed in well under 2 hours, in time for me to make it to work. The car feels amazing, it's fully spooled at around 2500, once again I could hardly be happier with the guys at 1320. The following are the pictures Honest_Bob took of the turbo, and the pictures of the last time Adam ever climbs on top of my engine:bigeek: , lest I be forced to throw spare parts off the bench at him :rofl:.

Hahaha nah I was there and no harm was done at all :mrgreen: . Just the stock TD04 I had gotten off of Twiz, ported and polished on both side. Good stuff.
That was the quickest install I have ever seen. It took them well less than 2 hours. I would say more closer to an hr due to another emergency showing up at the shop before they started working. Definitely a quick, thoural job from what I seen. They never seem to amaze me.

I'll second the quickness and the thoroughness of the job. It was put on once and no leaks.

Yeah I went back down there yesterday so Ryan could check everything and there is no leaking and all of the bolts stayed tight. Once and done, I love it.
As for the dyno, at some point I will be heading down to Andy at verocious for a pro tune on the Utec.
