Turbo Rebuild



























So i got my turbo back today and this thing looks brand spanking new. I'm in heaven. I am so pleased with the results of the rebuild. I took some pics to show you how it looks. I also test fitted it as well and I'm afraid it is not gonna fit in my car so I may have to do some modifications to the manifold and/or the hood to make this thing possible. I measured the compressor cover it is 11" (freaking HUGE) I have some comparison pics too. I didnt have the rb26 valve covers on to finish out the look but thats coming soon. but this rb30 block is big enough even tho its one inch taller but that makes a big difference when your already limited on space. Hopefully by next week I will have the motor in the car so I can see where I stand with hood clearance.

LMK your opinion on this an what I should do about the clearance.
