soi havent gotten to update you guys on my build in a while. was busy workin so i didnt get to do much work on it. quit my job a few weeks back and just been workin on the car. got it mostly put back together but still need to button some stuff up. been tryin to work on the tune myself (gettin a little better) but will eventually take it somewhere to get dyno tuned.

well my turbo decided to kill itself today. luckily i was a block from my house. the guy that bought my 91z said he might be able to build it or know someone that can. if not i have a smaller t70 (that was originally goin to go on it). hopefully i can put the t76 back on but well see.
