Lookin' good Lockie. Progress! 

The turbine does have a fair bit of play in it, oil lubricates the journal bearing taking up the play.Update.... unfortunatly today when I was cleaning I found that there is quite a bit of play in the turbine... so... guess I'll be replacing that.
Oh well.. shit happens. But any Australians on here heard or used Munro racing turbos? They do a upgrade/rebuild for exchange for the ct26.. for about $800
Looks the goods and by far the cheapest option I've found so far
You did say this earlier Frank, I should have remembered.Gasket should be 0.85 MIN-1.15 mm MAX thickness. That's for the 1hd-ft. for 1hd-ft engine. Used ones have not compressed and for the genuine gasket you don't need to retighten the bolts.
