I saw your car at the shop the other day and it looks better in person. Can't wait to see the results of the turn out. It's in good hands now.
I'm too a TN owner with only 1500 miles so far. I don't know what the future holds for me and my setup. But I respect the route your going and hope for the best. I hope you bring something new to the table.

Jeremy strongly thinks I had a cracked piston ringland for a while but the car was still functioning normally, hence the smoking and burning oil.

Don't worried about these other goof-***** that don't seem to have anything contructive to say. They'll STFU after your build has been completed and they see the end results. Believe it!

In all honesty if I had the resources like Turbonetics behind me of course I would have attempted to customize my Turbonetics single kit.
You have the kit installed already and you have the financial backing by Turbonetics so definetly going for it is a no brainer.
Is this going to happen anytime soon? Or is this one of those projects that never materializes.
You got parts in the house yet?

I'm still in talks with shops on where the work will be completed and quotes for parts and labor. I've even been given the option of using a pre-built motor. I've been put in a precarious position based on a couple of facts concerning the blown motor, but it WILL be done. Like I said, I'll release information on these forums when the time is right.
As for now, it's all still up in the air. Parts will be in hand soon, as we will need to fabricate wastegate piping. I'll have more info later in the week or early next week. At that time I'll probably just make a new thread as this one was more about the water cooled turbo.
