Just your typical repair shop. You probably won't find someone willing to mess with it at a repair shop, try a machinist or fabricator.

Re: what is this?

Small update; i got all the broken bolts out of my heads and all the engine is back together. i got the engine running great(just messing with the timing, now) but of course, i hit another problem. The exhaust side of the turbo is spewing oil everywhere..with all the other problems this turbo has given me, i think its time for a new one. Im pretty sure the turbo i have now is a Garrett TA0301 t3 .42/.48. I was wondering if you guys would know if one of these would work...any ideas? Thankss

Re: what is this?

The v-band won't work unless you can weld a different flange on and the last one needs an external wastegate. The middle one looks best. Is there anything clogging the oil return line?

i dont think anything is clogging in the line, but is it possibly that to much oil inside of the oil pan that the oil has nowhere to go? because i know my friend added to much oil and its wayyy past the "add" marks. im going to get bigger drain lines though, just to be sure its not that either

Where did you weld the return tube on? It needs to be as high as possible. Overfilling will do it too.

Re: what is this?

its as high as i could possibly put it on the pan. im thinking if i ran the car without the drain line hooked into the pan ill find out if its clogged or not. and if its not, i need some of that oil out of my car anyway
