I'll definitely keep the pictures coming. I'm cleaning parts right now.

She's got 140,000+ miles and has been through snow, salt, dirt-tracked, mud, rocks, you name it!

She needs some serious love.

Can't wait to see what numbers you make when you push the boost on your new built block.

Should be a beast. You're running just a standard 35r correct? Will you be upgrading to a hta variant or similar?

We will be keeping it a normal 3582r and see where it goes. Honestly, I still see no reason to upgrade.

Thanks guys. I think I'm sticking with this turbo. Emery likes to "test" things so he will probably find the limit on this turbo, then decide what to do next.

For a while, I missed the stock turbo, and was a little bummed about the lag in the 35r... but since mine is up on a lift, I've been driving Emery's brother's stock turbo Evo VIII... and now I miss the 35r!

I'm finding the immediate boost kind of annoying. No matter what you do, you're blowing off like a ricer everywhere.

It's weird how once you don't have it... you appreciate it more.

I love my car

Anyhoo. Here's the 140,000+ motor. Looks good. Still has the cross-hatching. Most of it's life it was on 93 octane, it's only been on E85 for about 6 months (if that)

Haha, you cut a few pounds of weight from your car just by taking the dirt out. You should post that in the weight savings thread.
