Thanks. Already did that... I was lucky enough that it either went out the WG or just got smashed into the engine... the housing and plates were toast! Turbine wheel is perfect Very Lucky!!

Motor is in trans on.. Had so get some bolts from ACE for the bell housing... starter on works well... started right up.. made trans mount for S5 TII trans to fit first gen Driveshaft is perfect! Ended up shortening my shift rod and drilling a new hole for the roll pin. Used the 12a trans shifter housing since it was shorter and everything ligned right up perfectly! Man i pissed with the housing for the shifter for a long time... finally got it... everything looks great.. going to put on some miles un boosted... need to re jet the carb so it runs better NA last it ran it was boosted.... now I have run into a charging issue and my alt tests good... think i might be missing s critical wire tho... although it worked last fall....
