back from the dead

Brunce Turrentine rebuilds are the ****, just to let everybody know. I know three cars that he did, two Turbo IIs and one FD. The FD has like 20k miles on it right now and has been boosting 12psi (stock twins) and just generally driven pretty hard and is fine. One of the T2's has like 30k miles on it now and has been boosting 14psi on stock turbo for maybe 10k miles.

My other friend (Smoken' on this forum) just got his motor back from Bruce and was very impressed that it was idling below 1000rpm when he first cranked it. He's got like 800 miles on it now and is continuing to break it in.
