Looks like I'll need to step up my new turbo search. Changed oil yesterday and noticed a little oil residue around the inlet when I pulled the intake tube and filter off. Must be a small leak in a seal on the compressor side. Hardly any play in the shaft, so that's a good thing. Just didn't expect to see some oily residue in there.

I wouldn't want to make the Queen Ranch work harder than it has to.

I still have my old HX-35...maybe I should swap back. A little "reverse bombing".

Bring that Queen to Alvarado so we can get a good look!
We'll even let you park in the reserved Dodge area.

I think I will be going down there Head down in the AM and head back in the evening. Been too long since I have been to an event
Don't want to embarrass anyone, so I won't be hooking to the sled or pulling on the dyno

Justin,
Should I bring the gooseneck?

Just kidding, I don't have the hitch in yet. Just ordered a B/W from Tweetys.com Might be here by then.

Hmmmm........think I might have to try and make this one with the 12v. Just got it back up and running. Got to get some different injectors though. These are just to big that are currently in. Plus I have to talk crap to Tyler.

BTW, traded in the 08' on Friday. Picked up an 07' 5.9 for cheap and is a VERY clean one owner. Will get here tonight or Monday sometime. This will be my first 2x4!!

Only if you think you'll need a ride home.

I'm not doing anything to cause breakage...
