yeah... found something out... the drive shaft that came with it... is shorter then the rb one... :O because i was just going to set it up then get the drive shaft welded up to the rb one but thought it was risky. just might buy mikes one and keep this one for a spear like all the other parts i got lien around haha. next question... where would u reconmend going if i was to get it sused out.. diff specs, diffs are us, etc?

Maybe?

I only used the v6 one because I needed to replace my leaking one and it was cheap.

The inlet and oututlet hoses for the power steer are just on a different angle away from the header pipe, and that is all the difference is.

What sort of clamps are you guys running on your cooler plumbing? Having problems with the clamps stripping threads. I'm getting some lips added to the pipes next week to stop them popping off on boost, but I think I need to upgrade my clamps.

hey nz gts have a look at this auction number on trade me..381361987 i found them to be the best. if you get some one to weld a nice lip around the end of the pipe that is good to stop boost leak and them poping off under +ive pressure hope that helps Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
