Sorry for posting this here guys but i seem to get faster responses this way Ok number one is I am still running the stock 14b in my talon. Do I need the heat sheild on? I snapped two of the bolts off Have any of you done this. I am a welder and work at a machine shop so ill try and drill, and tap them tomorrow. Please tell me I dont have to take the manifold off to do this!!

Number two. I was looking at my turbo tonight, and I noticed that there seems to bee a little crusty seeped oil in between the in the middle around where the oil return runs down to the oil pan, but it doesnt seem to be coming from the tube itself. Is there a seal between the hot and the cold side of the turbo? I mean if the thrust bearing was on its way out(dying) would it leak out as well as in? I doesnt actually drip it is just a bit oily/grimy looking. Should i not mess with it till Im ready for a 16g? Ok any help would be great.

BTW I have hardly any shaft play when I tried to wiggle it.

Thanks Matt
