Very nice pictures.

The comp covers Insert.. Are you able to take a few more pictures of it or even possibly remove it via the grub screws on the side of the comp cover snout and then take some pics of the inlet??? ;)

Awesome pics.

Take note how HKS design their dump pipe you split dump pipe users. :(

For those using the Garrett IW housing note why HKS utilize the complete area instead of being a slack arse and simply dropping a 2" pipe in there that partially blocks when the flap opens which results in boost creep on the Garrett IW turbo's.

Turbine housing - The HKS is a better design, bigger flap smoother gas exit.

Comp cover - The HKS is better designed due to the comp cover insert which apparently reduces inlet turbulence.

The comp cover looks essentially identical apart from the slight difference in casting which depicts its a HKS turbo. ;)

It would be interesting to see the casting finish both inside the comp cover and turbine housing.

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
