Just a note to anyone whom is doing future turbo r&r should get the MAHLE gasket kits.
P/N# GS33743 and GS33744.
left and right.

Comes with:

1x Turbo to manifold Gasket
1x Turbo to Down pipe Gasket
2x Aluminum Coolant line gaskets
1x Copper oil line inlet gasket
2x Rubber oil drain tube to block O-rings
1x Turbo to oil drain tube gasket
     -Per Kit
Price range Rock Auto to eBay is 27.99 to 32.99 per kit.

This is my second time using these kits. Oh and SBS, you require 2 turbo pipe O-rings per side. 4 total. Each drain tube has 2 where is slides into the block. Unless those are packs of 2 on your list.

I'm basing this off what Gearhead sent me.

If there is other stuff I need to order let me know....

I didn't order any copper stuff since it wasn't on the list.

I agree that boost is not everything.  18.2 boost at that power level?  That's very impressive to me as that is lower than I would have guessed.  Well within efficiency level?

You have mentioned before I believe that your upgraded turbos are perfect for our engines without doing a built motor.  Based on what you have just explained I would be inclined to believe your turbos can also support a built motor?

Yes I am trying to stay around 500 torque to the tires.  I could easily generate enough power to kink them.... LOL

Outstanding!  Bravo and thank you for putting the time and money into the development of this forgotten platform!  Much much appreciated! 

I think for many of us its not a matter of if we buy these, its only a matter of when.

I edited the part numbers and added the Rock Auto screenshot. The copper washers are for the oil line going into the top of the turbo. The 2 aluminum washers are for the coolant in and outlet lines. Seems like they would have you replace everything unless the oil inlet line is already attached.
