Soobscriot, what kind of power was/is that thing making? And what in the hey-diddle-diddle is a "turbo P&P"?

I believe he is referring to a "port and polish" which would, correct me if I'm wrong, include enlarging the ports and polishing them

I have no idea of power... probably about stock. (1 & 3 have low compression from leaky rings)

Pulls like a mutha though. Redlines are fun. :headbang:

 

I ported and polished the "hot" (exhaust) side of the turbo. Smoothed out size transitions and cleaned up 230K miles of crud.
