So who says dsm's aren't reliable? All you need is same-day parts available!
My bastard 20g blew up on my way into work this morning, and I want to give a very special thanks to James (SlowBubbleCar) for taking the time to help me get my ride back on the road again! I limped the car back home @ 5:15pm from the Applebee's on Hwy100 & Duluth St. At 6pm, I have all of the fluids drained and the manifold off. Break for dinner to let the turbo cool down before I yank it out, and then head down to Hopkins to meet up with James to pick up my 'bigger and better.'
Yes he had already listed it for sale, but it was still bolted to a car. James took the time to help me by yanking the turbo off for me as soon as he was off work, even though he had other stuff to do. I show up at about 8pm & we finish up yanking off the turbo & shoot the shit for a wee bit.
I b-line it home, stop at DQ to keep Anna happy (and me, I guess!). 9:45 I have the bastard 20g pulled, and by 11:30 I have my new little hamster wheel installed, a GT3582RLE-M (?) I think technically this should be called a GT3582RLSM because it has the 4" inlet w/ ported shroud, but who gives a flying F, this thing is big and bad ass!
(yes, turbo helped with the install!)
running like a champ!
So of course, I ran into some coolant line leakage (my bane when it comes to turbo installs, I have no idea why) so I ended up dinking for an extra 2 hours on the thing. I ended up getting it all buttoned up, and I'll take it for a test drive tomorrow!
