Top photo stainless exhaust manifold studs and lock nuts, braided turbo water feed pipe, braided tube to wastegate pipe, gtx3582r gen2, custom turbo water outlet pipe. Bottom photo old gt3582r 16psi running straight off 19osi wg springs vs new gtx3582r gen2 running off 19psi wg springs and gfb atomic boost tap I think it hit 20.7psi and dropped off to 17.7psi which is where it made the 430kw. Love this turbo, look at the power from 3000-3500rpm vs gt35r.

Drove it to work with no oil leaks and no rear end clunks.

Good on ya mate, that's a big job well done, I had the rear subframe out of my fgx a while back, I posted on here about it, I did ims diff hat and front diff bushes, got it done really mint! Pretty satisfying when you do stuff like that without cocking it all up lol.

Thanks mate! Wow doing the IMS conversion yourself is a solid effort.

For anyone following along later - the tyre shop confirmed that reversing the cam bolt on the inner end of the rear lower control arm made no difference to being able to do the alignment.

Will do. My guess is I will as I probably use the manual shifting quite often.

Still can't understand why my CVT Outback bothered with them.

CVT with a manual shift... agreed... dumb
