Well the old garret started blowin oil recently, so I decided to upgrade to a CHEBAY "50 trim" (actual .44 trim)

No mas: (Also went to stainless braided for the feed line, because it's easier and nicer looking)

Had to make a new downpipe for it, and I decided to run an external wastegate as well. I wanted to have the wastegate chillin right on top so everyone and their mother could see it, but that didn't work out.

Most definitely the easiest downpipe in the world to make..

I can't even begin to explain how much of a PITA it was to weld between the DP reducer and the WG piping.

That's what I got for now. I have had some smoking issues, (again, fail). So it may be the return line being a tad bit too restrictive so I'm re-re-vising it tonight or tomorrow.

Oh also, here is a comparo between the K24, the old turbo, and the Chinabay
