Thanks man! I haven't had my car turbo for a good while so I'm itching to get it up and running again.

I had the boost up and was running the crap out of it. I won't do that again.

The rest of my tranny parts should be in today(wednesday). I went ahead and pulled the motor off the engine stand so i could put my flywheel and clutch on. The engine/trans swap should be ready to put in this weekend or in the next couple of weeks.

Got off work friday at 430 pm and went to work in the garage.I started working on the car by 630pm and by 10:00 had the old engine/trans out and the new one bolted in. Finally stopped working around 130 in the morning. Still a bunch to do, but it should start up today.

Old engine

New and old

New engine in

Progress so far
