Depends how long it is going before it gets ran, if it is going to be on a stand for awhile, I use assembly lube.

wow, no, you can't buy a "twin turbo". You have to get two turbos and set it up from there. Our small motors don't benefit too much from them, at least street cars. Just get a T3 or T3/T4.

There's not much room for a twin turbo setup, the gases will cool too much and there will be too much back pressure on the first turbo to spool the second one and be effective. I thought about twin turbo before, but a lot of people suggested against it in other threads, so I decided against it. If I want more power later, I'll go H series and bolt a turbo on that.

You ever hear of a "Thread Jack"? That's what you just did.
