Re: Make slowboy not so slow

Meh, it was over a year ago, I'm not too concerned. I got it for $550 under new, so a year of use and $350 fixing up isn't the worst case scenario in my book. If I had more money a year ago I would have bought new, but that wasn't the case. Yes I learned my lesson about used turbos.

Oh yea, I figured out why that bottom center manifold hole was leaking oil everywhere. I thought it was because the threads were stripped, but it's because the bolt threads were so worn down it didn't grab the threads. I put a good quality longer than stock stud in there and it seals up really well, problem solved! Since the other studs are all rusty, I think I'm going to get all SS studs and locking nuts to make it look nicer.
