    After I qouted your post I gots to look'n and come across this picture of the last 1 I melted down .. the alot of history that goes with this picture.. that is a whole nother story
    But I put this turbo on the 7fb I've been running installed it correctly 100% sure of that..
    did get 250 miles and this was the result.. the pryo hardly broke 1000° and I wasn't pulling the guts out of it either running about 1700 rpms and running about 30 -33 lbs boost
    Heard that infamous pop and a tink tink in the straight pipes and the chearp'n sound your hear when it over spools & I knew it was Game Over..lol.. it never left the the manifold but you can see in the picture it wanted to.. the gray stain on the exhaust housing is the JB Weld I smeared on it to limb home
