It's cool, guys, I've been planing to build this turbo setup like this since WELL before the trick kit came out, (ask thunder550, or Spoolin 
)
Well, I got the exhause leak fixed, damn crappy v-band
had to build a .050 spacer to put in between the the flanges to space them far enough for the clamp to put them tight. I think I'm going to have to raise my oil drain hole though, still getting a little bit of blue smoke when I let off the gas after making a run even with a .075 restricter in the oil feed 
. I'll try to get a vid done. I think my camera will do it, I've never tried it before. But I have to tell ya, I'm loving the spool 
.

With all due respect to rick and his turbo's, he wasn't the first person to put a turbo in that location with those crossover's either!
Stop crying about how great your turbo kit is and show the man some respect for fabbing his own kit.
Come on now guys. Im just messin around
I told him earlier it looked good so don't get your panties all in a ruffle.

IF you swap to the .96 lets us know how your spool time goes.
