Be careful. Some "wide groove" HLA's have the band located up too high, and are totally worthless in a situation where you'll be shimming them up in the bore to compensate for a reduced base circle cam, as it will uncover the band and you'll have oil pressure issues.
Dry the area up as best you can, then have someone start the car while you look to see if you can spot the leak. My money's on a cracked turbo oil feed line. They have a tight bend right were they come out of the distribution block that's threaded into the head. Over time, they can and will crack.
For those interested, that IHI down elbow is a new build unit, not built using an old elbow. New laser cut , and aluminized mandrel bent elbow. Fabrication included the proper cut for the additional material to allow the flow from the wastegate port to enter the main tube. I wish I had remembered to take pics before I shipped it.
I sure would be hoppin' mad about receiving that thing. Especially if you asked him specifically about any spidering. Who was it? The rest of us should know who pulled this .
Well, the bellhousing is longer, as is the input shaft on the trans. Trans is nothing special, so the going rate should be whatever a fox T5 goes for in your area. If you wan't to use it in a fox, you'll need to swap the input shaft, and the bellhousing is useless. However, if you want to move your shifter location back a bit further, they'll work fine.
