ahhhhhh nope - that turbo never gave a hint of problems - someone suggested that a piece of the k&n broke off and went through the turbo.

If anything I'd put a ported head late 4200 in with a header and good exhaust..

The no reverse is weird - not even the trans shop I consulted had heard of a cocked band before and they have been around since 1970....

I call these teething problems, like anything else the further you go away from stock the more issues will crop up..

Annoyed - a bit - fead up to point of "enough" no. Stubborn possibly.
