Afternoon all

I'm rebuilding a turbo with a replacement billet (direct replacement for the standard billet) using the spare turbo that came with my car.

However when I came to reassemble, I noticed there are 5 screws, 6 screw holes but only two retaining plate securing the intake housing to the new billet (see picture 1) - this would indicate that there could have been 3 plates origionally but someone has failed to re-install the 3rd....

Given the replacement billet is uprated, I'm keen to make sure the housing is secured as its going to be taking some punishment and if there are supposed to be 3 plates securing the housing to the billet I source another plate...

Ta!

There's nothing missing, the third plate is the bracket for the actuator.
