I believe its a different flange to mount it to the manifold. Also need some controller to control the turbo. And downpipe is different. Its definitely not a bolt on swap.

Front main seal leak maybe? Thats a pretty good little puddle.

That manifold you had a pic of is from a 12 valve. I believe its a rv manifold. I have a school bus one on mine. Are these turbos water cooled? I want one on mine. Also what foot is it? Is it t4?

No, I dont have any pics yet. A guy would think I would beings Ive had the engine out 4 times since I converted it. Everytime I get around to putting it back together I forget to take the camera with me and Im usually in a hurry to get it done so I dont think to take any pics. Im planning on taking pics this time though. I just pulled the engine last Wednesday. When you welded your manifold, did you mig or stick weld it? Ive heard you can mig weld the manifold fairly easily. Im wanting to put the vgt on mine. I think Im going to run the fleece controller. That way I could tweek it running down the road.

That might be what Ill do then. I really didnt want the electronics, because that would be the only thing that is electric. Thats the whole reason I went with a 12 valve, to get rid of the computers. I like your setup. I think it would work really well in my rig.
Ill probably mig weld my manifold too. My stick welder is on the fritz. I need a new one.
