Last time I drove the car was a few hours before I swapped the turbo. Everything, other my idle hot-idle, was great.

Have not done a boost leak test, but it'd have to be IN the turbo for there to be one...hardpipes with new silicon couplers and SS clamps make leaks kinda hard to comeby. I don't have any money right now so I'm gonnna have to wait to build a boost leak detector

I plan on checking shaft play and whatnot today - it was too hot last night and i was pissed. However, i checked it before i put it on and it was perfect and spun good.
