Good morning Andy, and everyone else.

I've got to go back to my new place, unhinge and cut all the doors for the new carpet that arrives tomorrow.
Man, this has been a lot of late nights (early mornings?) trying to get a 120 year old house back into livable condition.

...Now if I can just keep busy enough with paying work to keep it afloat through the winter.

good evening everybody, by the lack of late day posting i assume everybody was out enjoying the warm sunny weather.

i ventured over to andy's place to help with his turbo install, but he really didnt need any help at all because he was basically done when i got there at 10:30. we went for a hot lap, the turbo sounds AWESOME and gets lower egts than before according to andy. after that, andy broke out his extreme vehicle shining products and tools, and my truck is now super slick looking and blindingly bright in the sun. also.....i got a grilled cheese sammich when it was time to feed the wee ones. thanks to andy and family!

we are waiting to see what the second set of x-rays say on my sister, they took the epideral and draining tubes (3 total) out of her back around 3, she may be coming home in the next few hours, or she may be staying a few more days.

now i am off to have dinner at the in-laws.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.
I am psyched about my new turbo!! Thanks to Aaron for being available and helping me finish up with the install. We enjoyed having you!

Hope all goes well with your sister Aaron. Here's to a speedy recovery.

the sister is home, still hurting and short on breath but otherwise happy and more comfortable than when the tubes were stuffed in her side.

Glad to hear she is home Aaron. Congrats on the new turbo Andy. Do you feel any difference? Just makes me even more antsy to get the rest of my parts and wake this ol' engine up!

Its a balmy 47, not too bad at all. My in-laws (in California) were complaining to us yesterday that their weather was 67 and frigid.

Good evening everyone.
I put a few miles on the new turbo today and it runs GREAT.
The added power feels good and the EGT's are down.
I used to have to let out of it on a long uphill on ramp, the EGT's would climb towards 1,500, Now at WOT on the ramp it did not get above 1,250.
