| I found the repair receipt from Greg when the turbos were brand new and I had stuck lifters, etc. Mileage at that point was 86,652: 
Current mileage on the vehicle is 87,209 (rolling to 87,210): 
This means I got a whopping 557 miles of fun out of this build. While that makes me want to cry, there is a silver lining for sure. Engine bay (note I already have boxes of diapers, even though the baby not due for another month):
 Motor is out, turbos have no FOD damage, zero shaft play, and basically look like you would expect for just over 500 miles of usage: 
Turbine housings a little dirty, some brake cleaner will tidy up no problem:
 SZ oilfeed lines with restrictors:
 Downpipes also in perfect condition, I am going to take the buffer wheel to them and see if I can't get them looking new:
 Some closeup pics of the ported manifolds with EGT bung and probe. They're no MS manifolds, but they are heavily ported, coated, and set up to tap right into the dual Autometer EGT gauges I never installed:
 LOTS of parts off the car now, I will make a fresh posting in classifieds. I'm sure I'll get bombarded on the turbos. Genuine JWT SP530 + DP are still running $3200 and I have SS pipes, not aluminized.
