Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
miketurboinc. They built it, and I got it from a speed shop in NY since the guy had it ordered for a customer whom never paid for his build, so the guy had to sell off all the parts. I figured it was a legit enough company to sponsor the NSCRA why not buy from them..I guess not.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
Tuning is up to Shane. I called diesel components, and Garret. I guess they come with a 270 thrust bearing and both places agree that there's no reason they shouldn't work. I hope it was just an assembly mistake the first time around and not this time. Only time will tell.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
This thing has had issues since then..coolant line blew, drain plug on the t-case fell out (NO idea why, as I haven't touched it in over a year) and now it's not making power it should. Found a MASSIVE boost leak at the comp cover to the lower ic pipe though which should help a ton, as well as another leak at the coupler going into the fmic on driver's side. Fixed all of these, and now it rests once again in shane's hands, and on his time. I'm getting really eager though to drive it again..this ponti POS isn't cutting it.

Sucks man, I have been driving my supra. And the blue supra is back together now also. I want to see what this thing will do on a good day.
