I recall that the exhaust sleeves should be in, because it's pretty important for good flow characteristics, unless the exhaust port is going to be just as large as the sleeve opening... which is pretty farkin huge.

yes... find some TII sleeves to throw back in there. If you can't find TII ones, get N/A ones and grind out the diffuser and polish it smoothe. It should flow much better with a sleeve.

Here's a little bit of info that might be useful

what you need to do is remove the roll pins that are on either side of the rotor housing. It holds the sleeves in. They are a royal pain in the *** to remove. I'm in the process right now...
