3/ find what killed your turbo first (i think it comes from point 2 though)
4/ stay away from crappy chinese manifolds, T28 dont produce enough flow to get anything out of them anyway.
5/ if you dont already have one, put a FMIC to cool the charge. An ebay FMIC kit is ok and will net you a tremendous upgrade in both reliability and power, as long as it does not leak.
You should be making more power than that. I am making the same HP with the same turbo, on a CA18DET...

I'm pretty certain that since there were only oil lines run to the turbo, over the course of time that's what caused the turbo to go bad...no coolant was run to it.
I wasn't seeing the amount of power that I should of out of the car anyway; I discovered a huge exhaust leak yesterday when unbolting the turbo....there was only ONE bolt holding the turbo to the o2 housing
And yes, I have a Greddy FMIC.
