Sometimes it can be a long haul, check my members thread....I didnt have much of a starlet last year too heh - but when you get them up and running right, its excellent, well worth the time, money and effort :)

What do you need welding up??

i dont want to risk it really, its the start of something to come so you know get it done sooner rather than later will post some pics up when shes back on the road. Mine only puffed smoke when stone cold when you pulled away its got to be that i got compression across the range so most likely turbo

Stop running it Paul or your going to ruin the internals of the turbo, if there is loads of shaft play it may already be too late :(

Re building another one this week :)

Only a tiny (less than 1mm) crack in wastegate too, not as bad as I had hoped
