Hodge Podge: Houston style
if you wanna buy me a bearing set I'll have the guys pull my motor and you can have all the guts. Got the crank, rods, and pistons sitting on the pool table right now... Might be cheaper than a rebuild kit.

iv done 14psi on this engine with the exact same turbo (had boost leaks then though) before, im honestly very very curious what i can do. did a bit of tuning today with the help of carlos (he drove while i tuned) and my idc at 8.9psi was 31%...im not kidding...these 850cc injectors are kicking some major booty...loving it, so i got the fuel but the fuel pressure will be dropping I assume here shortly. prolly gonna need some more upgrades to get it to run consistantly at that 15psi boost pressure
It's college man, I have to stay up and do homework 
July, after I save up some "if poop goes wrong fund" and provided if all things work out well academically for me (pick were to go to college, pay tuition for next year..ect). I may send my turbo down to you for a diagnosis to make sure everything is mechanically sound late may. I have a few things on the list to get before boosting again such as clutch and FIC. Once again, a very long road away. I may have to pick up another 09 motor just to have around.
