Default cam and turbo

cam and turbo arrived today. i was weed eating when the ups guy showed up. he pretty much just threw the cam down and gently set the turbo down. looks like jose did a good job. didnt take it apart or nothin but i cant see anything. gt7 cam looks good. now if i could get my heads, and all of that other crap i could get it back on the road. if people would stop ordering the prc heads off of texas speed jason could get mine to me. cant wait to get it all in and running again. updates as they come

I got to see your turbo when it was here. Turbo was in pretty good shape. Jose said just the thrust showed some wear internally. I also saw the turbine out and it looked like somehting had gone through it. That is where I know they spent most of the time work down the bends in the wheels. What went through it??
