update...i decided my td06 was fucked and got jack of the eShit manifold that kept cracking. Manifold, Gate and turbo up forsale (suit rebuild).
Have purchased a standard exhaust manifold, they flow OK, a TD06SL2-20g (slightly smaller turbine setup) with Nissan Turbine housing (T25, internal gate to 5 bolt flange).
So this will slot into the original position I have with only minor modification to the dump pipe and the way I have the boost control plumbed up.
I am investigated a noise in the valvetrain further, our suspicion is "solid lifter" cams have been used with the original hydro lifters. Hopefully I place the standard cams in there and the noise goes away. Then I need to decide if I'm going to purchase the solid lifters on NS for cheap or run standard cams for the time being.
The answer is obvious if it fixes the problem, who doesn't like to rev the shit out of their car! BUT I have got to say I am so totally over spending money on a shitpile that has so far done nothing more than chill out on the hoist.
If the noise vanishes with the standard cams, they will stay!
