I think you better go to opsm.  I can see them in the images. Common area to crack. 

that uploaded version of the image is a little blurry. The full version doesn't show up any cracks

thanks for your advice, anyway, as I said I'll keep an eye on it.

drove it this afternoon yay, works good.

 

also... after taking the turbo on and off 3 times (at least...) now the lower turbo drain bolt must be cross-threaded or something as it gets to a point (well before tight enough to seal it) and then loosens... and now it's slowly leaking out of that point... what should I do to repair that?

Something like Ralph suggested in this other thread? http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77651-turbo-oil-drainreturn-replacement/?do=findComment&comment=1157609

 

also, anybody tried this drop-in replacement?

Yep.  Got the E85 version with 460.  Dropped straight in. 

you need to go to specsavers not opsm

So it's goes alright with the 76 then princess  

wasnt this car supposed to stay stock

 

lel

it was supposed to stay "tune only"... now it's stock with a F6 lower airbox snorkel, BA F6 (the old black car's stock IC) intercooler, with stock FG XR6T turbocharger (as the stock one died and this ended up being a good quality replacement) and K&N filter (fitted before I bought it)...

 

the new turbski means that I need a full tune to take advantage of the extra airflow. Since I'm paying the full price for a tune, I'm going to pay a reasonably small amount for cat/injectors/fuel pump and *hopefully* stop there...

 

oh, and a blocked BOV haha

 

stock is lame, anyway... just sayin'. I'm happy to go against my original expectations
