yes I asked about that before, since there where holes there already it is kinda a issue, kinda not. but when you think about it the tube will add structure, if you don't cut the hole to large and let it be a snug to tight fit.

If it was myself doing the install I'd probably make it oversize and weld in a support tube... but that's just me.

I can pretty much guarantee that everyone has someplace nearby that can do that little welding for them pretty affordably.

Or at least a stitch weld around the inside of the hole.

I believe everyone is getting the precision turbo except me. I got the Garrett, and Roberts looks like the precision. By the way Robert, make sure to take that 15 pound spring out of the wastegate before firing her up!!!! Your 7.5 should be in your box somewhere! I don't want you to be forced to put the 3L in just yet!
Other than that, keep up the good work and keep us updated!

Speaking of not labeling anything ya'll should see warmonger work on a contour. He knows like every bolt size and how many for probably every single thing on a contour. Pretty interesting in person when he says something like there's three 12mm bolts holding that in, 4 13mm bolts holding that, a clip holding that, and your missing a bolt on that.
And my rx7 is apart right now with bolts every where on the floor of the shop. Haven't had a problem yet finding the right bolts, but yet might be the key word.
