Sorry FuLLah I don't have anything else to add here. If you want to talk about longest turbo install I might be of some help.

I swapped my det in 2.5 hours start to finish. That also includes welding up new IC and Exhaust piping along with a Megasquirt install, and dyno tune.

Morgan is not king....... He is my bitch...

My build took me a little over a year, about 1,000 cases of beer and 50 gal of Capt. Morgan... But, then again I'm a lazy a$$ drunk... oh well, maybe I will be quicker next time...

With intravenous drug use of course.

i was so ****ed up i didnt even know who or where i was.....i thought i was Space Ghost for a bit.

Also forgot that the car has been making over 600 hp and has been super reliable since we did the swap back in 1991.

I did an avenir swap in a day. I spent a year lowballing the parts though. I had 4 people helping me part of the time. I also had a lift, a welder, over 100k in tools combined, parts washers, torch, etc....

no it was not running perfectly after that.... but the next day it was....

we had to completly fabricate the intercooler piping too... didn't have anything to weld aluminum with so it kinda looked like butt....

getting in a hurry will only cause problems, asking a professional shop to do it will only cost more than the car is worth....

don't even think about doing it if it's the only car you have access to...

You've had the motor out since we first put it in?
