Could be a bearing they said, so now its engine strip time, have the choice, either prep it for the Esmeril Trubo kit i just bought or purchase a 20b and spend the extra on a real engine......mmm, wot would the rest of u do? $$$???
if ure looking at alot of track hours, go for 13b...

20b will be running much hotter by normal standard to get that the same track hours compared to the 13b

Check the regulations in your state before you build to use on the roads.

Too late. Bought a 20b this week.
that was the easy bit.
i had a 13b turbo running on straight LPG years ago n she loved it!! high octane and no stupid cat convertor needed, twas a rocket. may do the same with 20b.
