Here the pieces out of the dump pipe:
 

Ouch.

Don't mind the dog toys, he likes to throw them at me to entice me to play fetch with him, but put the new down pipe in and now the exhaust doesn't line up.
 

 
On another note, started pulling off the gen2 lights to install my gen3 ones

New turbo on its way

One of the screws holding the turbo to the manifold was half stripped so I pulled the manifold out with it.
 

 
Hoping the new turbo will show up this week, but will be on the shelf until the HTH and HTHOE show up so I can do them whilst it's out

It's here!
 

Which CT26 did you get?

I looked at about 1000 different options but due to my budget and end game build plan I've gone a pretty simple up grade and got the "MR2 16G CT26 3SGTE Upgrade" from Falcon Auto Creations.
 
Got a huge list of other parts to get ordered and installed before I can do the turbo but I'm happy to have one locked in ready to go
 




 

I don't think that dude in the background is taking your turbo seriously ;-)
