Yikes. I need to find a turbo once I get my tax return. Looks like I'm gonna be in your boat in terms of stock trans before I can build it. 5 PSI and no 1st gear pulls it is.

It'll be fine. I know our trannies would be stronger if they were made of glass, but a lot of it comes down to driver.
Got a 3-5psi spring for my wastegate - 25 bucks. What a rip off, but I need it. 10 Days and I should have a almost turbo car! Pics of build to start then!

Seems to be a nick out of the metal on the turbo V-Band, have to fix that to ensure it seals.
