Yeah, I'm still running the Tial 38 off the o2 housing. We just took out the flapper, then welded up the hole in the side of the turbine housing so we'll see how well it can hold boost in the high RPMs before it just runs out of breath.

I also still need to do a boost leak test to make sure we didn't miss any pinhole spots when we welded up the new outlet pipe.
