My name is Nathan and I am from San Antonio, TX. I was pointed in this direction from Tim Peterson on the DSMlink forums. I actually started talking to the Minnesota guys when I bought Shane's PT67 from him. I also bought Brian's 2g Magnus manifold from him to hold me over untill my 2.4 block/head are finished. Anyhow, just wanted to say "howdy" to you yankees

Welcome! I remember you posted on Tuners that the turbo blew on ya, did PTE get you back in business?

lol
Well, they did, and it died again. I noticed it was smoking the day after I installed it but I figured it was just residual crap fotm the last failure. The smoke persisted and I found about .1"+ (not a typo) in and out play. Everythig was garbage except for the turbine housing. They sent it back today and it will be back on this weekend. Jim told me it was a bad build both times and that it never should have been sent out like that. He said he took care of this one personally. My polished compressor cover is no more though. If this one lasts I really won't care.

When one of your rods decides to redecorate your block be sure to take pictures.

I sold you the T4 manifold on DSMLINK.

Hey, how's it going James! Small world....

Anyways, the manifold got a little uglier with all the installs/removals. Mainly becasue I left it on the garage floor and it rained. Moisture in the air casued it to rust a little. It is nice to see Chris flowing so much air on his revhard. Gives me hope that I won't have to switch untill I want to run a big turbo

I planned on running a bigger turbo than you with that manifold, but I dicided to quit. With that car anyhow.
