1991 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 - Episode 6: Turbo Install and First Start

Welcome back to Project 1114, my one-owner 1991 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4. On this episode I'm installing our rebuilt turbo and starting up the car for the first time. Hopefully whoever did all the wrenching did a decent job, cause we're about to find out. #mitsubishigalant #galantvr4 #carmaintenance

The painted exhaust manifold and O2 housing look good!
Is the 2G exhaust manifold a better upgrade over the 1G in design and less likely to Crack?
Did you send the Turbo out to be rebuilt or did you do it yourself?

[@autoobsessivegarage]

The 2G is much sturdier than the 1G, and completely looks OEM when you add the heat shield.
I was able to source this rebuilt turbo. I’ve rebuilt in the past, but it’s been a while.
