Well got the turbo yesterday, not real happy with it, looks like comp wheel has been rubbing on the comp housing. Sent it out this morning to Forced Iductions for a check up/rebuild, see what they say. Also sent the Converter in to Yank for a cut/clean and a possible re-stall to a 3200 or a 3400? Dave is gonna look at my logs and see what he thinks, was hearing from some people that i was blowing through it?
