not a bad price really mate saying that it includes arps too.

its abit of a gamble with ebay turbo's but i think itll be fine untill i do get a real garret.

not easier to get it blasted mate ? its only small wont cost much.

Iv sand blasted a few of my ally engine parts @ work with good results.

lol no thats the finished pickup apart from the bracket. there isnt any leaks and the welds are strong and it doesnt touch anything. the mushroom looking thing is about 1/2" from the bottom of the sump.

I would deffinalty not be using this, this will starve your engine of oil and your be in rebuild no 2. Sorry to piss on your fire but I really wouldn't mess around with pickup pipes, specially when it come to modifying them. Contact steveboyslim for one, for the price he charges they are well worth it..
