Iv'e just fit a new turbo on my 2007 Accord Tourer on my driveway, yes a ball ache of a job lol. I refitted the original copper washers etc... No leaks all good. I got a full new gasket set though for the turbo return etc...
Nothing wrong with taking your time to do it to the best of your ability mate.. your vid on the clutch master and slave helped me out.. don't think I'll be doing the manifold tho lol
