Nice, haven't seen a wastegate like that on a stock setup in a long time. Is that added to the stock manifold or is it a stock replacement manifold with an external gate.

Diggin the turnbuckle for the alt belt tension...

I'd imagine you are using loctite or something on the threads of that so it doesn't vib loose?

It's the stock turbo with a modified backplate (wastegate separated from turbine).

No, not yet...

I got the motor from "mrmazda" on ebay. He posted pics of the compression tests. It was like 120 on all faces, about 35k-40k miles on it.
