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!!

 

trying to find a rear seal for my trans s5 t2.... can find one anywhere... they are all too small...

 

Where did you get the turbo from for this car?

Nice, very nice.

 

it is indeed thanks

 

orderd my u-joint today.. they guy at rockford driveline was a really nice guy on the phone.. should have the u joint monday... then making 2 shafts one!!!

Also ordered timken seal #340930 from summit. for trans output on my s5 tII. couldnt't find the correct one anywhere. but the measurements on this one should work... found it by measuring my old one with a caliper and at work(AutoZone) and then looking in the timken seal book... should have that next week.

 

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....

 

also put in competition stiff motor mounts!

Talk to rx71king...I have seen his fb 12a turbo in person. He knows his stuff and will keep you from blowing another motor.
