Be careful with those Autozone gadgets. A compressed spring was released by one of those and thank GOD it wasn't pointed at me. It would have knocked out several teeth judging by the force it had.


Just a warning, but I've changed two sets of springs using those so they do get the job done. ~Joshua

I got the drivers side turbo assembly in place (the hardest side) the intercoolers or passsenger side turbo is the plan for tonight.

It's coming together nicely. It's actually an enjoyable project.

Reminds me of that McDonald's jingle... ba da ba baa baaa... I'm lovin' it.

Thank you sir... you are the best bandit I know of.



I'm trying to buy a liscense for hptuners, so I might call you to get the injector sizes done and back timing off by 2 degrees and then swing by your place for some street tuning.

Thanks again. ~Joshua
