Took a night off to breathe. At the end of the day I decided to pull apart the turbo housings. Got the compressor housing off but turbine housing one of the bolts was up against oil outlet. A co worker offered to assist and in the end busted the back plate for compressor housing. Didn't take pics but it was a small chunk of cast that broke off. Had to order a new piece from ATP which I will be picking up when I'm in states in a couple weeks. Ran me 65$ shipped. O well.
Decided to relax and on my spare time clean up the compressor housing with a sanding sponge I had at home and some water. Cleaned up really good
Thinking I may leave this bare or polish it up a little bit more. Not full mirror but atleast smooth and not so cast like.
Back to the grind tomorrow. Need to swap clutch master cylinder and bleed clutch so that is next on the list aside from pulling ac components out and rad so I can put replacement in after my trip.
Time to finish other loose ends and wait until I have the rest of what I need to complete things. Have to wait until late February to get turbo back on anyways so I'll have everything ready for a shotgun finish aside from exterior aesthetics (skirts and such painted and installed)
