I read on the turbo forum that the secret to getting them to last is to take them apart and clean them out before you use them. How far do you have to tear them down to get them cleaned out well enough? I have wanted to do a twin turbo setup for some time, but cost has been an issue. These things may be the answer to my being able to get that done. Twins on a 496 would be fun. \

/pulled compressor side and exaust side off (had to clock them into position anyway) and blew out the oil holes with an air gun, never had any trash come out but it's a good idea even on high end turbos to do it. these on a big engine would be sick. by the way, don't put 100ftlbs. of torque on the housing bolts. it can cause them to warp. about 30lbs (good snug with a rachet) is all it takes
See this over on TTF and thought it would help you guys figure out the V bands (theres a good link in there about how to measure them) http://www.theturboforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=138014.0

That little Nova on the turbo forums with a 468 and two of these turboes is really making me think I need to do this. I think he said he running 9.20s now.
went around the streets some today, tuned a little more. it's getting better all the time but still working on the tune-up. damn thing has a serious traction problem even a partial throttle.
slicks, yeah they suck on the street anyway.put pv back in yesterday, dropped secondary jet back and its alot better.
feels softer but faster. power comes in smooth (but not wrecking the throttle) just rolling into it in convenient places :-$
