well, thanx for that. i have absolutely no idea what i'm looking at. lol

um, i have come to the conclusion that there are many different turbos out there and many different trim/housing combinations, and matching them would be an overly time consuming and frustrating process. so, in retrospect, i will simply go by the guidelines set in the article as a base for my project and listen to any advice the manufacturer has to offer when i decided on a company from which to order my kit.

thank you very much for the info!!
