Well I recently finished getting my shop setup and, while letting the buffing wheel cool off between IC tubes on the group buy, I finally started putting my turbos back on my car. While pulling the turbos on and off to orient the housings correctly I noticed the replacement T04E /T3 Stg5 BB turbos they sent me have .63 exhaust housings. Before the compressor bypass lunched my last set and the multi year fiasco of getting my turbos replaced I recall that the housings were too small and spooled too fast, I never really got any adequate high end flow tests outside of short blips trying to tune a new motor. By too fast I mean 20 psi by 4000rpm ish. The question is should I just put them on like is to at least get the car back to running, for all I know the motor is frozen up after 3 years of storage, or should I order the higher ratio housings and put it on hold for another couple weeks? Any opinions?

Yeah what he said.

The only difference between myself and you two is my car runs.

Heh, well the question just answered itself. I need to get some of that F4 tape to shield the wire harness that runs to the connectors on the tranny, for the life of me I don't even remember what they are, 1-2 switch, backup, neutral? Anyway the elcheapo loom I had on it melted in the area over the turbos so I need to solve that first and I'd like to have the better insulation for my motec harness that runs by the same area anyway. Anyone ever come up with a source for larger rolls of that stuff?
