Update:


The turbo arrived at Precision today. Just waiting on them to contact me to say what is up. I gave my turbo manifold and compressor housing to my friend to clean up the ports and smooth them out. And then going to take the manifold to get ceramic coated, as my current coating was peeling. 


I've also been researching further on wheels that I want. I think 18" would be the best option. The car rides so low already, I think 18's would be a better option. I think I want 18" RPF1's. 10" wide in the back. 


However, I saw TGrant's car on the forum, and I think I am in love with his look. I think I am convinced I want to do the Auto Couture body kit, and go with the CCW C2K's like him. I think it is the best wheel yet. It's classy and a little more aggressive than the Classics.

Update: 


Precision Turbo called me just now and said they will be upgrading/fixing my turbo for free. That's $700 I won't have to spend. Precision said they will mail the turbo out this week. So that's something...


Also have to get the new IAT sensor welded in, Helicoil one of the exhaust stud holes since one is stripped and get the turbo manifold ceramic coated. So in the next two weeks the car should be good to go again. And then I can continue the hunt for some wheels.

Update:


Got the turbo manifold back from Synergy Coatings, and it looks really nice. Sucks that it will dull out after a while, my turbo gets really hot. Just waiting on the turbo to come back from Precision, and then I can put it back together again. I will probably get the car tuned again, because I couldn't max it out yet with the injectors leaking past 32 psi. I am expecting 830whp this time.
