lol i'm not stupid i didn't think that oil was coming out of your exhaust ports -_-
like i said and the picture confirms it, you didn't seal it properly.
take it off, put red permatex around the outside of it, problem solved. don't pull the return line too far down or you're going to have oil everywhere.
it doesn't matter how tight the bolt is oil is still going to find its way out without a sealing agent

Are you talking about the oil return fitting bolts? Or the bolts that hold on the turbo?
^ Those were already on with the gasket stuff ^ Its dry around it.

dude. the bolts are not going to leak oil.
there is oil slowly seeping out of the return line where the flange meets the turbo return.
it's not rocket science do what i said and problem solved.

if am not mistaken the stage 1 can hold up to 325whp not sure what the ratings are on the stage 2 or 3s but for the price of stage 1 i think its pretty good if they can back up there ratings. am planning to hit 370whp max but i wont be doing digs and very few drag passes eventually, which i think its when they suffer the most lol

Honestly, I don't know. I don't have very much involvement in the trans sales. I can tell you that we would sell a lot more if we could keep them in stock. They sell pretty regularly.

So you already have the hahn kit and ur getting the zzp kit? why not just get which ever turbo you decide to go with and go from there? all you'll need is a different turbo manifold, the wategate, and a redo ur downpipe...

For 420-450 on an LSJ, I'd go with the 256. For 500, I'd run a 259.

its the turbo kit that 04redline had b4.
he was a tuner.

but its a pos kit.

its all custom piping and stuff... i hate how everything fits
the hot side pipe hits my axle.

i'd just feel better having the zzp kit.

i'll probably go with the 256et...
