Sorry, I'm too boring... :( stuck the old springs back on and used one of the rotted ally spring seats to chock up the broken side...

Anyway, bling is hard to find in these parts...

I took the WGAct off anyway to get the exh. manifold off leaving the turbo attached and noticed that it's had a bit of a whack on the side of the flange?

SB engine with watercooled Garrett t2 for '87 (ex:JX/KKK)
