I saw the car yesterday. Looking good. But that used turbo looks really used. I'm not surprised it needs a rebuild.

I was looking through my iPhone, turns out I did take two pictures of your ride while I was up there. One with the dash opened up and one of your manifold/turbo.... I should upload them.

Yes. I did. But their dyno was giving inaccurate numbers. I need to get another 3 runs.

Tghose are the two pics I got with my 3Gs. Soorrry for the typos. Everclear is causing immediate fail in my brain.
