You guys better be inviting me! Reebs, i metioned to Bad that Im willing to give a hand, when you get into town.

i already told u t.e, u're more than welcome to come by. I figure there should be around 4csvts rolling by. Any ceger thats gonna be in town for sema should show face. I hear pud, rara, n co are coming. everyone should come. "we'll stay up late, watch movies, and in the morning, AM MAKING WAFFLES!" :laugh: [quote from shrek]

You know I would be there if I could. :( But I am coming in 1 month for a long Christmas break and so we will be cruising for sure!!! I really wish I was there helping right now. I don't only miss my 3L turbo, I somehow miss the fun of building it! Figure that! :shrug:

I was in town, but only very briefly at SEMA. I got in monday night, and left wednesday night. I hope everything went well with your swap!
 
well ladies n gentlemen... its a wrap! the swap is complete. there are still a few issues i gatta get worked out first before i can mash on this thing. First i gatta say major thanx to joey... and alyssa of course :). This guy's a genius people. he's gatta be the master of improv! We had soooo many bumps in the road it was ridiculous. but just when i had lost hope, joey found a different alternative. he would improvise and keep the project rolling. if the autoshops didnt have a tool he needed, he made one :shocked:! Evan(tourenvy), u d man! he helped out so much. I would dare say he did more work than i did ;). i don't have any numbers yet, as per hp n all. I'll fix the little things, and schedule a few dyno runs sometime this week or the next. here r a few pics. joey has d rest. Hound him :laugh:

getting the motor out. Oh by the way, we beat the 3hr removal.
