Yeah I might be able to give you a hand - Installed a GT3071R on a Mazdaspeed 3 a few months ago, and have uninstalled/reinstalled the turbo on my Saab an uncountable amount of times.

I work mon-fri but am off weekends; Just got my 8.

We don't have a formal meet schedule (we're slackers), but the rotary group meets once a month; the next one's Sept 19th. I'll be headed to VIR that evening.

If the power steering is out, you likely need to pull the intake air box & look for 2 connectors for the power steering unit below it. They are angled to catch water & debris and can short out.

Nuke, how's the turbo? 40th, thanks for the compliment. After the new year, things should calm down, I think there's a meet coming up in the middle of the month.

its coming along slowly. too much work and not enough free time. its in the car now but still not running good. need to install an o2 sensor and start tuning. luckily Kane is here now and has been giving me a hand with it too.

That's cool. I want to work on cooling this spring and I'm debating on if I want to get an AP to give me more flexibility than my flash.
