Thank you all. Interesting about the wastgate as I didn't know when it open or close. Its always open then untill the pressure build up, then shut at a certain pressure and this give the turbo boost.
Auspumpen, the turbo look tiny indeed, and I have to say that I am jealous of Evan's new size, this look like a proper turbo
