Great Pics Larry!! The turbocharger assembly looks to have been well engineered and the welds are beautiful!! That Garrett G20 turbo should do a great job providing boost and the connective plumbing looks to be relatively low on restriction to air flow. Keep the great photography coming and we will repost it in the Members Technical Library. Glad it made it past TSA!!

Hmmm, I wonder if Larry is flying around the Bay Area right about now

Saw Larry at his shop. Very nice shop. Four or five bays on the garage side and four or five more on the auto body side. I had no idea.

Anyhow, the turbo is going in very nice! I would've stayed to watch it go in, but I realized Larry was spending more time talking to me than turning wrenches, so I left him to his work.

Larry -- hope to see the finished product sometime this weekend!

Best,

Hey guys! Still here working... I'm taking so long cuz it's my first time and I did things different then the guys at SFR as far as what to take out and what was done. I modified some things here and there to suit my liking and needs but overall it's coming along nice.. a lot of time spent though haha. Thanks for all those who did drop by to say hi!

I will be flying around tomorrow but I should be free in the evening like.. 6pm ish. The next couple hours will decide if I leave the car here tonight and finish tomorrow or will have it out and running by tonight... will check back in soon! Back to wrentching

Geosynch thanks for the comment about the shop and Kar aka Eskargo, thanks for the In & Out lunch! I was starving!

Cheers!
Larry with the soon to be Smokin' Azz Cow
