No offense meant but how is that going to happen?

Your drilling the EXHAUST side... Any shavings that do FALL UP (remember gravity here people ...) will blow thru the EXHAUST side of the turbo with no effect at all ...

Didn't stump already do a writeup with pics? I saw it on here somewhere...

I didn't have much success using this method. After drilling the hole, I snaked a magnet in there (I bent one of those retractable magnetic get-stuff-outta-tight-places tools) and it picked up all of the shavings.

I'm the guy that does video write ups. Everybody had a "how-to" or "picture writeups" but how many people have VIDEO writeups like you see on the TV show "trucks" or "powerblock TV" etc...

That's where I come in ;-)

Wear saftey glasses!!!!!!!!! I had a piece off steel in my eye for 3 days before the eye Dr. had to scrape it out. I felt like a D.S. just because i didnt take 2 seconds to put on saftey glasses.
I got the shavings out by magnitizing an alen wrench and sticking it in the hole.

Hey Martin,
If the timing works out, etc.. maybe i'll "let" you do your video doc of my gauge install??
You're looking for someone, right? I'm 150miles from you, but i'm not in big rush either, I haven't even ordered them yet. I'll probably install them in Aug. sometime.

Well tomorrow I'll be doing the install for the video writeup but I'll still install your gauges for you if you want.

Then we can run it at the track and see how it does!
