Sorry guys I have not been on much. The car is just sitting right now I am going to college and there is no way I can pay the gas money. Plus I am going to have to get the turbo rebuilt. I took it to the strip about 3 weeks ago and on the first run the nut inside the turbo came off and ate everything up. I was at full boost in 3rd when it let go. Scary sound I didn’t know what was going on. I ran a 12.4 costing. I like the turbo a lot not a street turbo at all.

That sucks, those are known to come off... thats why when I had imine rebuilt, I had it replaced with something a bit more reliable =)

I wonder what the cost might be to have it rebuilt. I have not even pulled the turbo off. I was very pissed the car never runs for more then a month at a time. Haha But what do you do when you love something so much. I just stuck it back on the trailer and pulled it back in the garage. I had a motocross race the next day so i had no time to fk around with it. Oh and i never did take it to a dyno i think i will have it rebuilt and maybe changed to the t51r spl and then take it to the dyno in town.

The difference of going to an SPL isn't going to be too great... and the lag will be pretty bad.

Anyway, i know I can get the hotside wheel and shaft for $175 shipped and the rebuild runs around $250. I don't know what a compressor wheel is going to cost.. those get expensive.
