Please DO NOT Post In The General Section
From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.
The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.
For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.
Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.
Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

YAAAY! This is exactly what I like to see! I'm excited to see that DSM turbo block off plate idea i gave you go into practice, I've not seen anyone use anything like it so I guess you're the first. Things are looking really nice on the front side of your engineBeen a long time. Still alive...

ya figured why not. the plate is prety solid. but we shall see under exhaust pressure.
worst case is it leaks a little bit. maybe a little JB weld can fix that.
this is a temp fix. just until I get the boost going.
little worried, but if I gotta pull it, i will find some way to get it to work.
I am positive everything will be fine tho.
thanks for the comments. great idea BTW!

If it leaks, all you need is a more thick piece of steel. 1/4 inch works good. I'm pretty sure you could find something. I'd just hate to see you jb weld that little plate in there to the exhaust housing, only to have the JB weld break and be left with a messed up turbo exhaust side. The concept is solid, but your part may be the weakest link.Been a long time. Still alive...

I will just have a machine shop make me a piece to exact specifications.
still better than redoing exhaust to get it back the stock way.
esp when its gunna get boosted!

true with the richness but I will still be able to get a compression test done.
and look for oil leaks and such.
I also will be able to get the clutch broken in.
that is my main focus.
Should be fine running rich.
Everything will be ok. I know it.
The engine is happy i did not paint it red. hahaha!

so just some minor modifications.
finish suspension back in.
and ready to rawk!
