I think I'm just going to put it on hold and order the correct couplers I need instead of half-assing it and/or cutting pipes that could better be used elsewhere.

I received my mishimoto 90 degree coupler that I purchased from eBay for around $11 shipped.on the hot side I used a straight coupler to a cut U pipe to a straight coupler,cut 90 degree pipe to a 90 degree coupler,straight pipe to 90 degree coupler to the core. Everything worked out great. But with the slim fan of course.I will post pics soon.And guys,do not hesitate to buy the mishimoto couplers from eBay.they are thicker then the cxracing couplers and they also come with a mishimoto decal sticker and shipping was fast.

I had to figure out what the heck to do with the 4 stickers I have lol
Glad the couplers are working out
Cant beat the price for that quality.

Well I only have one but I doubt that I will place it on the car since I already have alot of stickers on the outside. Idk,I might place it on the engine bay.

ball bearing turbos are not rebuildable...
So if my seals are bad on my turbo,I can't rebuild it? I thought I could

Nope, the GT25 dual ball bearing turbo we have is a one and done. Sounds like disco time to me.

a possible stupid question but are the seals the same thing as the turbo gaskets, like the gaskets for the different parts of the turbo? because I had an exhaust leak a while back on my first msp because the turbo gaskets were bad and mazda just fixed it and replaced them, now I have heard of someone on the forums rebuilding the turbos, I forget who it was though, but ya generally from what I have heard they are un-rebuildable but there was one guy that was doing it.. just can't remember who, I'm sure there are a few guys who know who I am talking about

which is about 90% of the cost of the turbo.

yeah, thats the impression I got from people saying they got them rebuilt, but the price was enough to mine as well just get a disco.. should just try to find a used one with low miles on it for relatively cheap if you want.. just have to jump on it fast, but you might end up waiting for a little bit
