So, engine is all assembled, clutch and trans are all sauced up, and while cleaning out the stock IX turbo Ron discovered some excessive shaft play...bearings must have gotten killed with the motor which suuuux...I was really hoping to do STS on this car but oh well. Everything is ready to go back in but now this road block, ugh. I want this thing done really bad now!

I looked around at options...rebuilding this turbo into an ef3 was my first choice but MAP is a few weeks out (it is spring after all). I found a few stock turbos nationally but nothing I could pull the trigger on quickly. So I decided to scoop up a local FP white...it's local, mint (3k miles), comes with a few extras I may need and the price was right.

So close....
