Subject: 13B turbo question?

Group,
Well...stumbled into another question. I have now realized that there are
two
turbo versions for the Turbo II (or at least I think there are) Series 4
and
Series 5. I have one of both and it looks like the Series 5 turbine housing
is
a bit more robust. The compressor externally appears to be the same.
Thoughts,
insights, comments?
Thanks

Series 5 is head and shoulders above series 4.  Series 4 cracks frequently
and series  5 cracks way less often. Less often in fact than the
series  6 or what every they call the third gen over there.

Paul,
I agree 100% after looking over the series 5.

BTW here is a tip I think. The stock series 5 exhaust
manifold, when it does crack, cracks right here.
I would take a die grinder and radius these knife edges.
