We got an update on the one we hauled down. The old motor only had like 250 miles on it. The heads had either 2 or 4 bent valves and like 8 bad guides. Chalk up another $800 to the tab...LOL!

If they get that thing done and you need someone to "transport" it down to you, just let me know....LOL! It should be MEAN!!! What kind of HP are you shooting for?

update.. just talked to Tim@MPH, and he has the passenger side turbo mounted and almost done with the passenger side piping.. He said he should be done with the complete twin kit and sent off to coating within 2 weeks.
Definitely getting closer..

Tim@MPH started mocking up the TT kit..
Ignore the dirty alternator and cracked fan shroud.. They will be replaced..
