Yep The trip home went much better than the trip there. My bag is still sitting in Atlanta though. It will come home tomorrow according to Delta.

If people want to be able to say "hey look at my turbo" or "I bought a kit but just haven't put it in yet" this is a great buy but if you want any sort of actual performance and reliability skip it and buy the real thing from a reputable vendor.

Yep, that's exactly what he runs into. I feel bad for him because then his shop gets bad reviews down the line and they blame him for it. They are incredibly hard to tune, because as soon as you ask the owner to put money into at least a proper waste-gate setup for them they usually complain because that costs more anyway People are sad some times. Also as for the custom work, it's really about the same as one would get into for a tuner kit from say garret or honeywell, definitely a custom welded manifold and such

I was thinking this would be perfect for one of those hillbilly lawnmower race builds. Or for a redneck go-kart. |

Why poo poo that?
Y I remember back in the 50s, I got one of those fan whirly things and mounted it between the carburetor and intake manifold. It broke up the gasoline particles and mixed them with the air better so that the engine consumed less gasoline and increased HP. I didn't have a dyno but it increased my top speed up to 87 MPH and reduced my 1/4 mile time down to 26 seconds. So there! humfrz |

Item listed on Ebay is kinda misrepresented.
A short block has things in it other than air. Item shown is a BARE block. |
