Yep, upon pulling the filter and TID the turbo has wayyyyyy to ******* much shaft play to the left/right/up/down, though none front to back. The compressor wheel fins appear bent and severely discolored...

The manifold is causing boost creep? I would think the problem would be in your wastegate, unless maybe the flange to it is restricted. The XS Power/SS Autochrome ones are cheap by tuner standards but I don't think any of us are shooting for 450whp. How's the car doing Josh?

Oh, and I just saw an FB on COPS. I was flipping through and only caught the very end of it though... it was a black FB and the cop said something about someone stealing parts!! Sounded like something straight off of the forum. I wish I could have seen the whole segment

Oddly enough his name isn't Eric it's Mike. Yes I know both his email and forum name suggest otherwise.. Only reason I'm stating this is to avoid confusion since my name is Eric.

In other news, I received my safc-ii today. Hopefully I can get it installed soon.

I call people by their forum name. That way I don't have to remember their real names.

Nice seats. How does a person named Mike get a nickname like Eric? I guess there's a story there or something.

Good deal Derrick!

Hurray for snails!

My full nick is Eric The Bloody Red, and ya its a long story
and ya my seats are nice, only has a few spots that are bad
one is a small rip in the pass on the bottom (someone has tried to fix it, doesnt look great)
and the other is a small scuff mark on the pass right speaker area
the last spot i can tell is on the driver side theres a black mark on the out side of the seat ( i think it can be cleaned off)
anyone who might be interested ( and is located in the Knoxville area can look at them)
^_^
as for price....hum..make a offer i guess

Honestly no, but as of this weekend all of the inside of my car will be removed and it will be parked, i'm going to be sanding and repainting the car sunday and odds are it will remain parked for quite a while, i plan to order the new molded carpet , and seats sometime next weekend ( so my car will be down for about 2 weeks)
and as for the driving to work , i'll be driving a 1991 240sx ( borrowed it from a friend)

That's what a bucket is for. I wonder what a cop would say if he pulled you over and you were sitting on a bucket?

In all honesty I want those for the Cheeto but as everyone on here knows, I have no money.
