Looks like it was installed with a 5 degree down bubble even with the demister lines to act as levels. Or do the stickers sag over time.....
Nah, it was foretelling the circling of the drain . . .
Was intentional, like a skewed baseball cap.

Do you have more details on the tank you used? Link?
Yup. Pretty cheap. Throw the pump away that comes with it and use the stock pump and grommet.
Amazon product ASIN B07NVFV883
Also - my kit came with the wrong size intake hose that attaches to the turbo itself. The smaller end was made for the wrong diameter. I was able to use a cut piece from one of the other tubes to make due while I waited for a replacement, but I'm tired of the HVAC tape sealing it up.
Does anyone have a good source for me to purchase a new 90* silicone intake tube?

You can usually order them easily off any racing site. Summit, even eBay. That is weird though. I’ve bought mix packs of silicone hoses off eBay and cut them up to make due before.
What setup is that you’re running for a catch can?
I just ordered from Siliconeintakes.com
Website seems outdated, but they ship quick and have good components. Their T bolt clamps are priced good.
Good deal, thanks. I just emailed you the instructions too.
Thank you.

Thanks.
For the catch cans, I copied the setup @haulin auss did. Post #883 from here: Wits End Turbo Owners - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/wits-end-turbo-owners.1190721/page-45#post-14883359
Well… had the turbo on my cruiser with a fresh rebuilt 1fz. Took the turbo off during an overhaul and noticed condensation (sludgy) on the exhaust wheel, as well as chipping of the lining around the exhaust housing. Anyone seen this?
Also attached are pics of the sparks 1-6. At first I thought HG had gone but no coolant in the oil.

Anyone have any ideas wtf is going on? No more shaft play that when it was new.
Radiator crimp let go after my fan belts snapped and temp spiked to 225 going up a pass outside Pendleton OR. The belts popped the lower rad hose off and I immediately shut it down and pulled over. Didn’t think there was any internal damage as I replaced the belts, reattached the hose and filled with coolant. Drove back to Seattle with no issues.

Plug color looks good but the melting of the electrode is troubling!
Detonation maybe, borescope your cylinders would be the next step.
