that really does look sweet. the engine on my stand is taking WAAAY longer to tear down than expected - by which I mean, I have had far less time to work on it than I'd have liked. I can only imagine how long it'll be till its upgraded, back in a truck and running again. I'm jealous of your commitment and free time!!!
also, does that turbo spin backwards from our stockers? ...not that it really matters, it just caught my eye. is that an S366? I'm pretty dumb when it comes to turbos, but trying to learn as I'll be in the market soon!

ah - I see. sorry to hear that. at least you have a good, productive outlet for the time, though.

Yes, that turbo spins the opposite direction of the stock turbo. If you want to get technical, the stock turbo is a reverse rotation turbo and the S366 on Bill's truck is a standard rotation turbo. That's why they have to be mounted differently, the housings are oriented differently.

Well, I was gonna take it out tonight, but we got hammered with snow this afternoon, and it is nasty out. There have been vehicles all in the ditch on the hill in front of my house. I thought I was gonna have to break my new clutch in pulling people out of the ditch! Maybe I can take it out tomorrow evening.
