Finally after 6 weeks in the shop and a lot of issues, I drove her home. The shop I took the car to is one of the best fabricators around here. Great person to work with and has a wealth of knowledge.
I took it to the shop to get a custom made turbo manifold to replace the POS manifold that kept cracking. My specifications was to make the same manifold design with piping that would not crack. While in the shop he found that my turbo was fried and the wastegate! I had to order a Tial 38mm wastegate and I also through in a good turbo blanket. The turbo was replaced with a new one but it was not a true Garrett turbo. So while I was getting my manifold made with the old turbo I had a new one made that would not allow the downpipe to be bolted without hitting the transmission housing! So I had to go back to the place and get the old turbine housing. Then we had to take it to another shop to have it machined for a larger turbine wheel. The person at the shop was very helpful through these issues. I just wished I would have told him to build the manifold they way he wanted to and avoid these issues. By the way IRC he said the turbine wheel is the size of a GT37 which means my turbo has been upgraded and should give me more HP! I know I have a lot of cleanup to do!
