I like it. However it's not without questions.

Like, prior to inproperly installed #2 piston ring eating the motor, and GM putting in a whole new motor. The turbo was making about 23psig. Replaced the motor, rinsed out the turbo bearing, and bolted it back to the new motor. New motor only makes 20psig. I made them test it for a week. They found nothing and could only come up with, maybe the old motor, while eating oil faster than all hell, created more boost. Any insights?

Nope... eventually... though I had 31XX miles on it when the motor went puht. Now I only have 55XX miles on the car. Not even 3k on the new motor.

My drag buds want me to go to the strip with it next year. I may... use the fancy launch control.
