Message	Supposedly they had 64k miles on them, and had never seen past stock boost levels. Of course, that motor was a trainwreck from the start, so I wouldnt be surprised if I was decieved about that as well. They didnt smoke when they were on the TT motor, but It always smoked from the headgasket, and never saw past 7psi in the 2 weeks it had run. Ideally, I would buy new turbo's, simply because I dont trust rebuilds. Unfortunately I dont have the funds for new turbos of any kind. ------------------------------------------------------------ bJammmin: i was thinking about masking off the bottom part (black on your lip) and painting mine flat black, caus it'll just keep getting scuffed forever sfpearl300z: thats half the reason why i did it to mine sfpearl300z: dont have to worry about any imperfections sfpearl300z: cause it gets so much abuse bJammmin: yeah dude so true goddamn bJammmin: why are you a fucking genius sfpearl300z: lol sfpearl300z: you know what i hate? bJammmin: whats dat yo sfpearl300z: being so damn smart bJammmin: LOL sfpearl300z: i actually dont look too far into the lives of people on the forums sfpearl300z: dont pay close enough attention WickedPuddle: see WickedPuddle: thats where you and i are different WickedPuddle: i am on a whole different level of having no life MiCHaeLkiH: i forked out 650 for my vibrating one Fst300zx: its never been a problem until lately HAHA sfpearl300z: lol Fst300zx: itll fall everyonce ina while.. i just pump it a few times and it stays up sfpearl300z: yeah Fst300zx: haha damn this is a rough conversation
