ah ok, i had just assumed that the outer diameter changed as well.

well that makes it easy, my downpipe does fit the stock donut gasket, so i can just re use that again and be all good.

thanks guys.

Check with DennyT4 on this too. If I remember he had a heck of a time with it.

They're kind of tough to get off. You may ruin it in the process. I still have my original if you need it though.

Ah, don't scare him Dave, he'll be fine...

Just for the hell of it, Justin, what downpipe are you running? What O2 housing are you buying?

2.5 Outlet on the stock turbo is more than enough dumping into a 3in. downpipe.

Good point Dan, now that you mention it, I think that most O2 housings are not 3" outlets...

i have an invidia 3" ss downpipe, and i got a Megan Racing O2 housing from PPI that is coated with swayntech ceramic.

i'm planning on either doing it myself, or having someone else do it around mid to late january or so, by that time i hope to have a ported and coated exhaust mani too.

Is that because I have broken more parts than you have worked on or is it because you see how my overconfident attitude coupled with the "do's and don'ts" of 4g63 modifying have proven over the *long haul* to be correct and not just a *fad*.

I can't wait to do the parts on your car this weekend and hopefully make it to CBRD in the spring to lay down some sikkkkkkk numbers. 330 mustang whp on well under a grand invested is over optimistic but thats what I want from your piece of **** or I'll light it on fire and **** on the interior.

there are several people hanging around here with those. so far the reviews have been positive. in fact, i think when i replace my clutch, i will be going with the exedy twin myself.

I did get one but not installed yet.

The best price I found for the Exedy Twin SD, not the more common HD was from CVR motorsports. They were really slow last I dealt with them but their prices are really good. The exedy doesn't come with the TO bearing.

Another new option coming out really soon is the fidanza twin disk. That looks fancy and isn't supposed to "chatter"

I'll be damned Brian. It could be my imagination or the fact that it's a bit warmer today but this seemed to help. Thanks.

All I need to do is start parking like this and I'll be ALL SET! Turbo timer at maximum.
