Did they pay you in canadian money or US funds?
With current exchange rates and the weak US$ is there any difference? ;)

If I remember correctly, the GT35RLE is the Mitsu style exhaust housing. If so, the exhaust side will be the "choke-off" point of the set-up. Quicker spool-up in return though.

It is the one one with the mistu exhaust housing. It is a complete bolt on. Stock manifold and 02 housing work for it. You surprisingly don't even need a spacer plate to clear the water pipe with it.

It's not clearing the water pipe. I had to bang the water pipe alittle for it to fit but it's so damn close to the block the compressor housing is touching the block drain bolt not even a peice of paper can slide in between. I hope I didn't make a puncture on the water pipe :(

what's a good fix if I did?

Replace and heat to bend. If you moved it enough to have a leak then it's starving already. (smashed shut)

It's only about 1/8 banged in for the compressor housing to fit. I'm more worried that the 2 braces which I had to flatten doesn't cause any leaks.

Weird. I had no fitment issues on my car. I wouldn't worry about it, but if it does leak, put a little jbweld over the spot that leaks and let it cure overnight. I did this on my 1G and it saved my ass, and looked fairly clean as well (read: don't use too much!).

I was thinking the same thing JB Weld it if it leaks
