Default Got my turbo back from Turbonetics
All in all, good and decently fast service. They were supposed to mail it to my builder, Doctors of Performance, but ended up mailing it to me instead.

TC76

And good packaging too.

Correction...a foreign object entered into the housing causing the oil starvation. That's the report I got from T-netics.

It is lil compared to that 106mm your running. This is going in a truck though, not an F body. Im sure the 106 is absolutely sick judging my your times in your sig.
