ive actually been curious how that would look.. since the tires are meaty and they have whitewall lettering in the works.. a nice bright deep red might be cool.. its certainly attention grabbing.. and i miss having a red car.. my z32 was red.

Brown or Red. That brown looks more like a root beer and that would look sweet.

Check out a Borg Warner S362 FMW! They are a inexpensive option which are giving us 2J guys serious power with decent spool.. You could rebuild that 6266 to like new and sell it etc. A lot of guys I know who still are boosting whips etc.. do not like Precision turbo's at all. Just this Saturday a buddy who runs high 9's in a boosted Integra will only use Garret turbo's claiming they are bullet proof and just don't break! I have yet to see a post or notice where a BW crapped the bed. Now on the other hand I have a 2 friends who only run PT's but these are on GN's and they rarely see the street or long drives! Now in your case I'm not sure if a BW can fit with ur current setup. A GTX might be in your future. Whateva happens don't give up.

saweet.. turbo is 100% dead.
I have no choice but to rebuild now and replace it later on w something different.. preferrably w a sponsorship.. but funds will barely allow a rebuild now let alone a new turbo.
