So I'm guessing that rebuilt e99 van turbo will be up for grabs at some point? My old GTP38 turbo is sitting in the garage needing a new exhaust wheel/shaft combo, drive wheel, and outlet. Basically, if you need a housing, let me know!

Haha that'd be quite the trip Steve. I would love to but it would take about 1 day and 15 hours of nonstop driving. Thats 547 miles just on I-90 haha. I think the fuel cost might outweigh the product a bit. Never been that far east though.
