Hey Kev, the ring for the wastegate got mailed to you today. Do you have the gasket? If not, could you email/call Bill?
Thanks!

Usually, a turbo quietens the exhaust, but not in this case ... wonder why?

Thanks for the update, Nigel. I'm sure Bill has sent an email out to me already. Yes, I have an extra gasket.

So is there a ballpark range in terms of pricing on this turbo kit (when it'll be fully available) ? I don't want to jump the gun here but just a range would be cool. Something to think about and open a savings account on the side.

Im still wondering why the exhaust was so loud and somewhat raspy in the vid, I think its the universal gaskets for the 'y-pipe section'. Thats similar to the sound of my exhaust when a shop put in 'universal' gaskets when they removed my y-pipe to fix a broken manifold stud. My cattman y-pipe came with a more flat gasket (for tighter seal?) and fit the opening perfect. The universal ones look to oval for the opening and IMO dont really 'seal' (fit) like the cattman set. Every since then it has had this 'raspy' sound (and sometimes smell) as if I have an exhaust leak from where the manifold bolts to the y-pipe. (No other signs of leak exist elswhere)
