Sheit. I will be calling. That's an OEM part that isn't much more than what an aftermarket one costs new...

 

Thanks for the link.

Otherwise I'll probably start gutting it tomorrow.

Please do, I just read 3 pages of what ur gonna do... I wanna see this thing, heard good things about ur last turbo buick so looking forward to this one man god luck.

 

 

Side note I don't know how good the elcamino is with traction ,but do you forsee any issues once it gets full spool on ur turbo you want to run?

I have seen people take the tailgate off of the caminos and fill them full of concrete to get some more weight in the rear. Crazy shit to see but it sure did work.

 

That's a solid idea.

 

I don't think I'll have to go that far, but something to consider if I need to add weight to the rear.

Kenny, You should come out east and see my GN. It's an ex-race car, converting for some street duty. Lets just say its a little "off center"

 

I see what you did there. http://r6-forumz.com/images/smilies/naughty.gif

 

I'm down, you know I love some Buicks. You know how to get a hold of me.

RJC head gaskets should be here tomorrow, all I need to do is tap the block for the turbo oil return and that one is ready to go in.

 

Need to get the Regal over here so I can gut it, but I need to clean up shit in the garage first, so who knows when I'll start that.

 

Still need to order motor mounts and a gas tank.

 

Me and Ricky owned that shit in like 3hrs.
