Word. [attachment=15325:SDC13234.JPG] NVH mitigation at every potential place here and good luck so far. Vibe-deadening pipes and beefy block-to-pipe bracing rod near turbine.

 

soooo, finally got it back together. real shitty spot to work on, but all good now. i rotated the wastegate a bit and now the dump tube is not near a damn thing. if it breaks this time, its due to vibration only.

took the car out for a ride after and brought my buddy with me. 2-5th gear. he looked at me after and said i dont remember your car being this quick. i laughed. he drives a 370z with bolt ons and a tune, prolly a 108-110 trap car.
