A little update , I was cleaning out the turbos and painting the exhaust when i noticed that the primary turbo had quite a bit of shaftplay compared to the secondary . looked like the fins were just about to graze the turbo housings ... so another setback , but maybe its a blessing in disguise . may be a couple more weeks . but I'm gonna try and find a set of N3G1 turbos I hate sidegrading . and the 99 spec N3G1 turbo's have been my goal since I first got the car.

so if anyone happens to have one they wanna sell hah let me know!

That's the most expensive part lol :drops change in can:

It's looking more and more like your prediction was right. I think I'll be running before you but I doubt I'll be on the road first.
