Well its done. turbo installed...my girlfriend is not happy since we started at 9am and didn't finish until 3am and we were supposed to go on a date. My boy's wife isn't happy AT ALL and he probably won't be allowed to come out of the house for weeks.

Yep, Snap-On ratcheting screw driver w/ the flat head bit on it hit the radiator and caused a small leak. Nothing that a whole tube of JB weld couldn't patch up in a few hours.....now where is that Doc Isotope panel!

Definitely concrete!! It was my woman's apartment garage we did the install at. Imagine being up at 9am and working until 3am knowing you were supposed to take her out that night and you've been in the garage all that time. Needless to say sleep didn't come easy that night and my buddy who was with me is married and he couldn't leave out the house at all the next day.

Mine is too bro. I just figured that was the way it is supposed to be, I couldn't figure out any other way to prevent it from happening and the piping really can't be re-positioned in any way.

I really like how I was able to keep my VRD fogs!

As long as YOU are happy with the turbo, that's what matters. When the ex used to get ____ed at me for who knows what, I'd go for a drive and the spool of the turbo would make me feel happy again. Turbochargers are great therapy.

Its not that serious, a few strips of rubber and zip ties will do the job. And they aren't "rubbing" against each other in such a manner that would lead to any type of hole in the piping.
