hey guys!!!

the car is running and running like a top when its at speed. The car just PULLS.

problem is, I think I have the CHRA clocked wrong (center section of the turbo) and its causing the oil to not drain fast enough at idle. Oil is pooling and then being pushed through the seals causing massive smoke clouds. it can also hurt the seals if it goes on too long. so basically I need to redo the clocking of the turbo but the bolts on the exhaust housing are very well.......stuck. Kinda fused in from the heat. I'm working on getting them loose and really dont want to remove the turbo but i might have to.

also have a bad exhaust leak off of the vband flange that was already on the turbo. We fear it may be warped.


just more pieces to the puzzle.

I'm leaving for vacation at 6am Friday for austin, TX and then Montana.

Austin City Limits then duck hunting and trout fishing......god this is going to be a great and very needed vacation.

short story is I wont have time to get the car back on the road until the week after next.


be patient.....I promise video's as soon as its back on the road!!

and its FAST.



From my last Montana trip
