Thanks for your replies!

This shop built it for me and I thought they knew what they were doing. The first one the nut came off the compressor side (shaft may have broke). Other two beat the bushing until the turbine wheel hit the housing. Problem was they had too small turbine wheel to the compressor side.

They must have got this one right because it is based on a T3/T4 but is a mitsubishi exhaust housing and borg warner compressor housing.

I am using a pressure wastegate with manual boost contoller. Neither are hooked up at the moment but the pressure wastegate is installed with tight pressure on the wastegate.

Peak boost has been 20 psi on my 99 E300 turbodiesel in the signature.

I agree with you on the exhaust manifold. I just need to find someone who will fabricate one. Any thoughts
