youd rather have sex with a turbo?

Looks nice, I want one!

I think you should install the turbo kit before dropping it into your car. Much easier then bending over the fender tightening bolts up in awkward positions.

Engine is already in the car, and I don't believe you can install the engine into the car with turbo already mounted.

1) Can't add trans fluid if turbo is on, thus I would need to put the half shafts in before dropping in the engine.

2) there's just not enough room with the turbo mounted, because of the need to get the engine under the brake booster when you install it from the top.

either case it doesn't matter, the engine is in the car, and I only did one small scratch while doing so, which was quickly touched up.

I have pictures of the engine in the car, but really they aren't anything special so I never posted them here. I'm really busy with work right now, and am about to go on a fairly long business trip, while at the same time I'm trying to finalize the purchase of a house with a builder, so engine is priority not right now.

That makes sense, as long as it's ready for Spring!

I noticed the FS sign on the house when I drove by Sunday....was going to stop in but figured you'd rather enjoy family time over the holidays....I honked though

Just don't go driving off to Atlanta once you get the turbo in
