So the crankwalk issue isnt an issue with the 6 bolt?

[importcarkid]

^^^nope, the 6 bolt is the way to go if you can help it. it wont walk away unlike the 7 bolts commonly do.

I've heard that it is possible for a 6 bolt to walk. Its just uncommon...
I could be wrong though..

I have never heard of a 6 bolt walking, however I have heard of later '94's with the 7 bolts walking.

A 6 bolt will walk if the thrust bearing isn't torqued properly. It's pretty hard to mess that up though, so it's very uncommon.

OK I’m kind of stupid. i found a guy that would check my compression but being that I’m in Iraq i forget that its prolly cold in mn and that there’s snow on the ground still, so instead of having him work on it outside while hell freeze his balls off I’m going to wait till it gets warmed up and then check the compression and the coolant leak and if those are ok, then I’m going to use the little bit of $ uncle Sam gave me for being in Mosul for a year and start buying every ones used parts and begging ppl to help me do the work lol

Ebay is NOT your friend for turbos. And probably not manifolds.
Buy a new turbo or one from someone local that you know is reputable, I have much personal experience with bad used turbos.
