Cheers Wpoll, not the worst job I have ever done in my life in a car, I did once snap a engine stud in an old Saab 900 AND THAT was a total pain, still I learnt how to drill out and use a bolt extractor. Just took forever! That Turbo is putting the rest of the engine bay to shame!

Also that is a great post on how to do this job you did and great idea with the dab of grease I didnt want to get anything near the ports and like you I stuffed shop cloth in all the holes of the turbo, was test driving it and totally panicked that I didnt take them out.... but I had of course.
