Well, in the 55,000 mile I've owned her (now at 197,500) I had to rebuild the tranny ($3000) new injectors ($1400) water pump ($70) haronic balancer ($100) and yes, she even counts it against me when I "thought" the fuel filter cap was on tight enough but starts pissin' 2 days down the road.... I can't win- she's owned 2 new cars in the 12 years we've been married, and I've never owned anything over 1999. You'd think that would equate to some squelching of the bitchin'....

Well all that doesnt add up to 2 new cars so just use that against her lol
My ex used to by alot of things here and there that she "needed" but when I bought something that was consider a "big purchase" she would get mad. then I would just add up everything shes gotten till she shut up lol

You would be better off getting a van turbo though
Dont want to kill your marriage so it sounds like just a rebuild kit would do

We might be able to make this work. You've got the correct intake plenums and intake spider on the way to you. I'm not sure what other parts you would need though. What else would you need? Pedistal, up-pipes,...what else? I've got the pedistal and some intercooler piping that are yours if you need them. Just let me know...I've got your address still.

I guess pedistal and up pipes, but do you think it would be easier to do the whole swap ( I don't even know where I can find an IH dealer around here) or just rebuild the turbo?
Clux is sending me his rebuild kit, but if I'm gonna do that I'm gonna go with a WW, as I was informed that a stock wheel on my smaller housing would cause worse surge than you late 99 and up guys already deal with.

Jeremy is sending me hin intake plenums and spider, but that was before htis all happened, I was just planning for the future. I think though like I told Jeremy, I'm gonna have to pass up this excellent opportunity to upgrade and just rebuild it for now.
Big Poppa Pump- I gotta thank you for the offer on the wheel, but I was informed it would be worse than later model surge, so it looks like I'm stuck buying a new one, but again I relly appreciate the offer.
Clux- you're a life saver!
Reps all around!! Sorry Tenn, I gotta spread more around before I hit you up again...
