Turbo arrived....but probs

dammmmmm
problem after problem. A weld on my old turbo they didnt transfer to my new turbo, they said they wer egonna also. So i found a shop to do it but they are charging me $75 to do it and said "if im lucky itll be done tomorrow" so if im not, cant get it running till earliest Monday. If im lucky then sunday. seeing how this whole project has gone i wont be lucky and the Max wont be running until Monday or later. Later

Yes, just like how you would "slap" on a new tranny.

Sounds like that'd be as easy as slapping in a GT-R engine.

like the way Jeff is slapping in the 3.5VQ in the 3rd gen AND BEATING ALL INFERIOR 5TH GEN GUYS TO IT.

Kev, you should be ashamed that you haven't done the swap......

I don't have the time to mess with all the tuning on my turbo anymore and am thinking about taking it off and selling it. Any takers? Its actually on my car and I boost 5.5 psi, but I have so much tuning to do that its kinda a pain in the rear to drive it.
