Here are the pics from the install...

I decided to remove just the turbo and not the entire exhaust manifold, to help avoid any issues with stripped exhaust studs.
I also had a brand new Hose from Hell that has been sitting in my house for months waiting for this day.... and wouldn't you know it, I didn't think of bringing it with me to my friends house where the installation took place. oh well.

Removing the ct26...















Here is an interesting picture of the effects of washer fluid injection over a period of time. the turbo on the left is the new ct20b and the turbo on the right is my ct26. You can clearly see a white precipitate that has formed as a by product of mixing washer fluid into the combustion chamber.
It also looks like there is a bit of an uneven distribution of the washer fluid as cylinders 1 and 2 have a lot more of the white percipitate than cyl 3 and 4.








the ct20b installed...



Sam buttoning a few things up...



car finished as if nothing ever happened...

Eli, you should just go with competition clutch. They have worked wonders for me. At-least you haven't snapped any axles.

Hey Will,
You know I have. I got one from Doc rated at 300lbs of torque and that broke into pieces after like 6months. then I went clutchmaster and the spring came loose on that one. Now I just installed ACT 6puck in a little over month ago. Praying this one lasts. I have never had this much clutch problem until I swapped. As a matter of fact, all my cars since 1994 have been manuals and I have never had any clutch break downs. I have changed driving habits going easy on it but to no avail. I'm beginning to think the car is making more than the clutches are rated for? smile.gif. I have been thinking going 153 tranny and clutch, but its just too much hassle with the axles thingy and having to go thru all that every time axle goes out.
Anyway, thanks for the advice though.
I will be in MN in march (second week) on vacation maybe we can set up some meet?
Eli
