How? You've only driven it less than a mile and the rest of the time it was on a trailer. lol Good luck man, no need to go broke over a car. I say put it on hold while finances get sorted. ;)

In for part out! :thumbup:


... Just playing man. Good luck with your stuff. Sorry to hear what has been going on.

no part out over a 1000 dollar turbo... it will just get fixed. I am tired of fixing things at this point tho for sure.

At this point it only makes sense to rebuild. Should only be I'm thinking like $3-500 with a new billet wheel. I'm sure you can find some un-used parts laying around to sell :) Then do a GTX :thumbup:

yep.. already got rid of a few things today and am halfway there already :)

This is your chance.

6871:datass:

Seriously. You'll make near your race gas/e85 numbers on pump gas alone.

Do it, nows your chance.

B Money, what type of guarantee or longevity is the rebuild shop giving you? jw

6871.. ill have to look into that. :)

Teddy.. PTE is rebuilding it.. i cant get it sneak warrantied it turns out ... but they said to send it in and they will try to work w me on it etc.

Not too big a deal i guess.

Nice choice.. Now get her done :) People need new desktop backgrounds asap lmao!

so i flip flopped between the olive and the metallic grey so much that i was stked to find a color that combined both almost exactly.

And it will be at my door tomorrow AM.. so I took monday off.. and am going to try and knock out as much as i can over the weekend.

after going to another local car show.. i realized that i needed an "unpopular" color.. one that wasnt going to eb on other cars..

Avery Midnight Sand Metallic.

we suspect hiogh EGTs from running a metal cat as the cause of the retarded heat discoloration.
