Looks like I'll be back in the game again, Moss dodge actually had an exhaust manifold gasket for a turbo cruiser in stock...which is a good thing because I can see the bottom of mine hanging out from underneath the manifold in peices and I have to be to school in 3 hours rofl
BTW...tatsumakisinfukyu ftw mish

lol I think I'm gonna take the old man's ram to school today...I want to go through the whole turbo setup and make sure everything's up to par first. I wish this would have happened AFTER I made up my mind about trading this turbo in on a 50 trim .48a/r because then I'd only have to pull the turbo off once instead of twice ftl. I'm thinking maybe a .48a/r exhaust housing on this thing would wake it right up...but that's another 130 bucks I ain't got plus it's a 4 bolt housing and I'm rockin a shitty 5 bolt.
Update: An hour later I have the upper intake manifold removed, throttle body, hks bov, coldside pipe, downpipe, 02 housing, turbo, wastegate, oil lines, heatshield, coil, and intake removed from the car. 3 bolts holding the exhaust manifold on, just waiting for that new one to get here in a few minutes.
I've looked around and I found a housing that'll work, it's $103.99 from like SBD or SBL or somethin like that. The only problem is it's a 4 bolt housing like I knew it would be so I'm going to have to cut the old 5 bolt flange off my 02 housing and replace it with a 4 bolt housing flange. Shouldn't be too hard and it'll make installation a lot easier as that 5th bolt right underneath the 02 pipe is the biggest bitch to get to. I actually had to do the hammer mod on it just slightly to get the head of the bolt to clear it. I think while the turbo's off I'm going to take it down to my local exhaust shop and have them fab up a wastegate reroute setup for me. I know I'll probably lose some power but I heard thru the grapevine that it'll help spool up and even out the power across the board. My sources tell me that with a dump it's basically like you're either in boost or out of boost...it builds up slow then BOOM there's the boost. And that's EXACTLY what it's like now...nothing down low then all of a sudden there's a ton of power. With the reroute you spool like stock...it just builds and builds until there's full boost which will help out drastically IMO
