Almost 16G Time!

[Blurred Talon]

UPS came by today with some more parts.

First is my turbine housing, set up for an external gate and ported.

My turbo is whole again.

I'll likely have to play with the clocking of it once it goes into the car but time will tell.

Next are more parts from Ziggy at RTM Racing.
First is this sweet exhaust gasket, not your regular 2 bolt 3" gasket though, it's cut from 14ga (.075") stainless steel and it's reusable. I plan to replace all my exhaust gaskets with these things but for now, I'm just replacing the one leaking on.

Also, after doing a few logs with ECM Link, I've found my car to be running rather warm in the 200-210 mark, I'd like to get her to run a bit cooler because as the coolant gets over 215 the car starts to pull timing out (bad thing). I'd like to get her in the 180-195 range.
I picked up a 170* t-stat and new OEM Mitsu rad cap.

Next purchase will be some slim fans to replace the stockers.
Punishment is still waiting on Tial waste gates, bit of a back order but should ship by the end of the week.
Why must I cut these things so close?

Did you order that hotside or just send yours out to be setup for external? If you sent yours out you could have done that yourself it's not that hard. Either way looks like your on your way

Nope, I bought it from a guy on the DSM Link forums. My Evo 3 16G was bought sans a turbine housing.

Had the same over temp problem. I installed a 170 thermostat today and temps are down 186 min to 195 max where as my temps were at 206-210. Tuning with the coolant overheating was a PITA. I hope you get the same results. GL

Thanks man, I'm also going to do a 50/50 mix of anti freeze, distilled water and 1 bottle of Water Wetter.
