Re: From Dirty to FILTHY
Don't believe it was mentioned, but when I blew the other motor, I sent the turbo out to Precision to have it rebuilt. While they did that, I exchanged the .63 housing for the .48.
This may help me, or it will hurt me as far as powerband goes. We will see. If I don't like the boost range, I can always swap it out and tweak the tune.

Oh I did! Haha Work was real slow yesterday. lol You have a ton of high res photos which is GREAT. Congrats on the child BTW. Pretty great that the wife lets you get away when you are not working to wrench on it! What kind of work do you do to finance this stuff!!??

Baby came Feb 2012. So it's just been a matter of pulling the motor, having it rebuilt (thank god no other damage was done to the motor), put the motor back in, bolt all the same **** back on, and get it retuned.
Those steps are nearly done.

Re: From Dirty to FILTHY
Car was STARTED end of Nov.
Idle was a little funky, and it had a touch of smoke...not sure if it was more vapor from the cold weather, or what.
Now I'm waiting on my tuner to come take a look at it, before it moves. Don't want to take any chances.
Once he adjusts it enough that I can drive it and break it in, it will be re-tuned in the spring.
Thanks all for following. I know, I know...I'm slow
