09/16/2010, All spark plugs fouled - black, a tiny bit of shaft play from side to side - nothing out of the ordinary, no in and out.

I believe this is the exact turbo, if I remember correctly, Aaron bought it from Extremepsi too

I don't know, maybe it is the valve stem seals. That's what I thought at first, but poeple kept telling me it was probably my turbo seal because my oil pressure is high on startup. I don't know anymore. I did a compression test like a year ago and all the numbers came up matching, it was like 195 or 200 or some number like that. It was the same as when I bought it from Aaron because I did a compression test when I bought the car from him. I do know the plugs weren't fouled when I did the last compression test though, and that was only when it smoked a little bit, now the smoking has gotton worse as I let it sit. I should of wrote down those damn numbers.
If it is the valve stem seals I have some new ones. Besides, if the head is coming off anyways it'll be easier to install the camshafts, dual springs and TI retainers. Plus it'll be easier to helicoil one of the turbo manifold studs, I know one of them is stripped, another one has a missing nut, and the bottom middle one is leaking oil
