Thanks for the warm welcomes! Look forward to meeting all of you.

So I will create a build thread before too long, but for now I'll post a little update. I did the GT3076R build on Friday but ran into a few problems. Two of the manifold bolts are impossible to get to on the new manifold with the big turbo. My donut gasket didn't fit the new downpipe so there is an aweful exhaust leak where the downpipe connects to the test pipe. It smoked all over but I'm praying this was from all of the PB Blaster and coolant that went all over when we disconnected the line. The only main issue an oil leak from the turbo's oil inlet line. I think I need a new banjo bolt. Should have everything taken care of by tomorrow.

Again, I'll start a build thread soon.

I'm a reservist retained on active duty. I spent 11 months in Afghanistan and then was flown to Germany as a medevac after sustaining a severe spinal cord injury and TBI from an IED blast. Now I'm stuck here in Fort Carson while they medically retire me. I have just been approved to live with my family again so I'll be relocating back to Arvada while I go through this process.
