Got my turbo and manifold :) it has zero shaft play axially, and a very small amount radially, I do consider it in mint shape, it has a little bit of tarnish on the aluminum, but that's OK.
Another 'yeehaw' is my 'baby' of an Rx7 I sold to a friend and got munched up is coming back alive and is ready for paint again.. (same color as my truck). It currently has a T68-1 turbo in it I think? I am convincing my buddy to look for another VGT and we'll get him a control box.. Car already makes close to 500 RWHP, but the drivability would improve a whole lot, and if you're not just concerned about peak power dyno queen numbers and more about real world performance, I think this would be a step in the right direction for him.. The current setup he has starts to come alive around 3000, and is full on at 4000.. a VGT we could do a lot better.
