    Sup Guys,

    Finally decided to go with a VF43 as my replacement turbo for now. Well I received it today it everything looks good. No obvious shaft play and looks like its in pretty good shape.

    Hope to get it in this weekend and I haven't done a turbo install before, ever. Wondering if anyone out there is willing to help me out this weekend. I'll order some pizza and anyone is welcome.

    Thanks in advance.

    Well damn, let me know if you do need a hand or something. I've never done a turbo swap, but I am sure that my mechanical skills could be of help.

    It will either be June 26th or July 3rd (both on Sundays). A poll has been posted and whatever day gets more votes will be it.
