I quite awhile before I get to buying the turbo. I just wanted to get a general handle on it while I was thinking about it. I'll start crossing that bridge after I get the long block sorted out.

I'm also going to redo the up-pipe. I'm going to get a welder I know to TIG it, and I'm going to get a slightly larger 44mm blow off valve when I redo the wastegate mount so that I can actually route it into my exhaust. Then I can finally get a muffler and listen for detonation.

Still planning on getting home this weekend to send off the head and block off assuming the pistons and rod bolts get here there on time.

69 Buick Special Deluxe. Intercooled Turbo Chevy 250 @ 15psi on a stock long block. It's kinda fast.
