Well I'm gonna get them to do a once-over on it as well as extract the studs from the turbine housing. Heck, I'll see if they can do anything. Wonder if any 700 series are in the local pick 'n pulls.

That turbo rebuilder told me hard parts are extra and any porting started at 75.00. They extracted all the studs for mine in the standard price.

Progress? In MY build thread? It's more likely than you think! Especially since I got my crankshaft back! WOOOOOOO!
In the second pic you can see where the spray welding was applied. It's the lighter areas. This has REALLY snugged up the timing belt cog, won't move at all now. Just need to smooth the nose contact surface of some very mild flash and she's ready for initial bottom end assembly and measurement!
Also found out at work last week that there's a machinist 6 MILES from my apartment complex, meaning I don't have to go to another city across the mountains for machine work anymore.
The Rabbit will live yet! HELL YEAH! MIKES HARD'S FOR EVERYBODY!

Mike, did you steal my crank sproket? I cannot find it and that one looks like it.

Yeah like on the 152! Don't forget, your Caddy was one of the reasons I chose the AAZ!
Old thread link (forum pretty much dead from inactivity):
http://www.the152.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=4666&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75Blech, it feels like a lifetime since I got this engine. I remember last year when Ken and I were talking about Coast to Coast to H2O. Really hated missing it this year; Ken, buy a Diesel and post here darnit!

Too big? (I pulled a T25 this week, while I was getting the intercooler.)

No, it's smaller than the T3, so even if the parts interchange, it would be a step down in ability to move area as well as efficiency relative to how I'll be using the T3.

no, it would actually work fine, it just wouldn't be good for higher boost pressures, i would say its similar or a bit better than a k14. you could actually build a nice hybrid with the t25 exhaust side and a t3 compressor, not the vw compressor tho, they suck.

Hah! I knew your scrawny butt was over here, Jas. Was just waiting on you to find me.
Yep, it's coming along at least. Now if I could only get Arthur, VooDooFury, and VDubTec over here. . . .
