What ever happened to?

Hi all,
Way back when, (like before this site got hacked a lot) there was a guy on this forum who was really really knowledgable about second gens(especially the turbo 2). He was from cali (can't remember which part). I believe he had an 87 t2. this would be like sept2000 to dec 2000. He would respond to like every thread with really useful info. Anyways does anyone know who he is or if he's still on this forum? (I know that this is really vague at best)

Thank you for your input

The two really knowledgeable guys, RETed and Cosmo Donk/Rocky the Rock Spider swam away a while back.

I haven't seen them in a while.

I miss Cosmo Donk ...He gave me more info on RX-7's and car info in general, more than anybody else has in my entire life. I think he's just in Japan for awhile with his Fiance. Not sure when, he'll be back.

Hell, all I know, is that if I was in Hawaii right now, I'd be spending ALL my time at the beach, or in my RX-7 hitting the backroads.

I know where Ted is...

Big Ted Koseki is in Las Vegas. I've know him for many many years and yes he knows his **** and he has helped a lot of people. I know he didn't get along with everyone on here or any open forum for that matter. But he is generally a nice guy with a flavor for gambling and all you can eat lobster . Anyway, his girlfriend told me where he was. I hope he comes back soon!

I will be in Vegas 12-13 of this month. I will make sure to check all major casinos and all the all-you-can-eat seafood places around the las vegas strip ...
I will tell him to stop his bad habits(gambling not eating) because we need him in our community!
Reted was very helpful to me!..he helped me choose the stuff i will need for my project and now i have a T04B and Haltech.

Ok I posted this a week ago and recieved no info. I have a turbo off of my old CRX. It is a Garett but I don't know what model. I think it is a T04? well here are the numbers that are on it. A/R .70 and M 43 or 48 (can't read it very well) I know that I need a different housing to make it work, but will it bolt up to my 87 TII ex. manifold. Or do I have to get the 89+ or aftermarket.

Hey I pm'd you but didn't get any reply so I didn't know how to get a hold of you. Please try to help me out with the post above. I am trying to make another trip soon. Does the track still have test and tune? The track up here is closed for the season.

live 4 boost- the housing will not bolt on to the manifold. no matter if its t3 or t4. test and tune is on fridays and sometime saturdays. 5-12pm.

fcturbo2- swing by the house when you get to town. i finally got the twins working correctly today. all it needed was a vaccumm chamber which on the cosmo is on the shell of the car,instead of the motor, like on the US. Luckily i got one from my friend who dumped the twins for a t70.

T3: Wastegate on the turbine housing. (or a hole for it)

T4: Requires external wastegate- no place to put it on the turbine housing.
