If I were you I'd wait till Sunday night and see what kind of opinions people post here and then give Slowboy a call Monday morning. Craggar will probably continue to blame it on you since the last thing he is going to want to do is admit a SBR fuck up. If that happens, I would ask to speak directly to Mike Huml as I sure as hell would thing he will have the final call since he owns SBR.

Thanks for your expert input jakey.....just looking for a consenses now.....

I either need to finish the leak down or buy <rent?> a cheap turbo for an hour to verify the motors really ok, Anyone wanna bum me a 14b or whatever for an hour or so? help?
