Thanks!

Cheers!

We'll see. The BNR's are ~$2500 and right now my primary turbo has ~3,000 miles on it and if the secondary goes we're looking @ $350 to replace it plus some gaskets. We'll see what happens though. If I get bored with the power and want more than yeah I'll do it, and if that get's boring I'll to tandem GT32's or something, but now we're talking 2-3 years out.

As far as the motor goes, as far as I'm concerned, the adjuster (if I can prove there is damage which I can) "my lawyer," and even Hank May as in Hank Mays Goodyear - yes I am entitled to a new motor. I still haven't had time to run a 3rd comp test but she's low. While on the dyno I was pulling ~18" of vacuum and now the best I can get is ~14 so the motor is def hurt and down on power. So with more boost and rev's hopefully I can get back to the numbers I want to be @, ~350 RWHP and if I can than the rebuild will wait until the winter. If she doesn't make that power, then we'll figure something out. More than likely though I'll just continue to run this motor for the next 7 months and enjoy the car. I'm not going to fix the ding until winter either.
