Plugs I just took out

Looks ok but could be internal

have you checked all your piping?

Not all piping and not sure how to tell if it could be a problem or not unless it's a obvious split :/

smoke test will determine if split piping Ed.

I have a feeling its something else though as a bang and then motor running like its being butt f**ked is ringing alarm bells to me.

seriously take it to someone that can give it a quick check up Ed.

Just for piece of mind.

Yes we are mate. Mum and Bub are in Melb until tomorrow night. How's things are your end?

glad to hear that mate. Everyone is healthy and baby sleeps like a baby......we are astonished at the differences between our first one and Jemma. We so far have it easy.

X fingers it's stays that way ;)

Anyways bed time for me.

All the very best from me to you Scott.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
