That's only when I get open road... lol. Most of my driving during the workweek is just cruising at 45-50 mph in traffic. It's weekends when I get to have fun!

One day grasshopper, you will meet my standards of expert detailing and show quality.... but, I'll never be at the power levels you are hehe.

You should have let me know you had it all apart, I've got a huge roll of Dynamat laying around at the house you could have slapped in.

Thanks to everyone for your advice. I bought a Precision T3/T04E with .63 A/R stage 3 turbine and 50 trim .60 A/R compressor. I would have liked a .48 turbine but I couldn't pass up the deal on this turbo. New with 12 mo warranty for $560 shipped. It even has a 360 degree thrust bearing. FWIW, Precision recommends -4AN oil feed with no restriction.

I wish I had known about Kinetik MS. That sounds like a great deal. I got this 5031E from emotorusa. They have one left.
