Thanks, I figured it would be something like that.
So if your car produces heaps of smoke you'll just restrict the line more until the smoking stops?

1. Have a nice oil drain for the turbo (big and down hill)
2. Try to have minimal "crankcase" pressure so the turbo will drain more effectively.

Damn Alex.... thats a freakin driveshaft!
Where are the balance weights though? Or did you just take it home for a test fit before it made it's way onto the balancer?
Damn... you should have had your driveshaft guy make two of those suckers...

With the rear axle hanging or with the weight of the car on it?

I'll be honest. I originally screwed up and measured with the car on the jackstands and the wheels in the air. The driveshaft shop owner was smart enough to ask me how I measured before he started. I had to go back and remeasure. It was about .75 of an inch diffrence.

Alex- intresting...maybe I'll head out to the cold garage and take a few measurements to see if mine is different than yours.
Steve- I bet you get all the Ho's with that big ole shaft
