Default Well the singles going in now

Why the sad face you ask? Well I'm getting some wonderful rod knock <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> . So the new block is getting built up now and I figured why not get the turbo in while its broken down. I guess I should be happy its going in, just wish it wasn't in this way.

Thanks smokin. I will only be able to run low boost for now since I can't afford a new rear or the fuel system to support it right now. I am excited to get this thing going though.

With all the extra overtime I have to work now to pay for the new block its just not feasable. Since Jason has it anyway to do the block he gave me an awesome estimate to put the turbo on as well. This will be his third turbo install so far that I know of. I will definately be bringing up the oil deal once he begins the install. That would be just what I needed, the turbo to die 1000miles after it had been installed.

I really appreciate the offer though Mike.

The block isn't even finished yet. Its at the machine shop getting honed and balanced. This all started last Friday so not much has been done yet but me paying part of the bill.
