    Can't wait to see pics... What turbos did you have before? Did you degree/zero the cams? Very jealous of your UR cam gears

    How does Ray/Merkel recommend breaking in the 3.5 6G72?

    Ah, 'bated breath, and all that...
    Ranked No. #1 in initial quality

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.
