Okay! Here's a follow up:
I went 12.09@115.3 at Island Dragway with this turbo, it's definitely holding up! Total miles is up to about 6,000 now.
Short mod list as follows for that pass:
2.0L .020+ Ross 8.3:1 / Eagle H-beam rods ; 23 psi dropping off to 21psi by redline, shifting at 8k with stock valve train; full supporting mods; pump 93
As I was putting my FP race manifold on today, I decided to take some pictures for a follow up:
Here's a crack in the turbine housing, I'm going to blame my porting job on this one, not PTE's housing. I ported the wastegate entrance a little too much and I guess that's the result.
Also, i'm guessing it's a surface crack because spoolup has not suffered yet.
I also took the time to reroute my water lines to see if it would help cooling at all. Coolant feed to the turbo consists of the water from the thermo housing to the banjo fittings. Coolant return is from the return fitting to the top boss/nipple of the water pipe. I decided not to highlight these this time for a better view.

This just in! Thanks to landy (diamondstargsx) it has been confirmed that the 7 bolt oil drain plug for the oil pan is the SAME size/pitch that you can use to plug up your 1G banjo water feed line and/or stock block feed line that I discusses in my original article.

Also worth noting, I get many PMs asking me WHY you need to plug that location if you have a BB (need coolant lines). It is NOT necessary to block that particular line, it is just that in most cases, the to4e comp cover hits that banjo fitting and you cannot install the turbo with it there. That is the reason why you are eliminating the oem water feed line.
