Not really I have been driving my other car lately. But I am getting ready to book a flight to bring Kane up here September 10-11 to dyno tune it. So I am looking forward to it.

The one downside of remote tuning - timezones, and mechanical expierience.... everytime we got 90% done something came up - so we are saying F it - and we'll do the intake MAF change, street and dyno tuning and then just be done with it.

Plus I've never been to the NW.

Too bad I don't live in Vancover. Oak Harbor, WA is really close to Vancover and Kane could have tuned two BNR turbo rx8's at the same time.

Althou I am not sure how long it will be before I get my rebuilt turbo back. Bryan is not able to contact his supplier for the past 6 business days to order the bearing housings required for the rebuilds.

The turbo I have in my car right now is completely dead so I rented a car for a week because Bryan said it wouldint take long for the rebuild. Right now there is no end in sight so I bought a bus pass for the first time in 9 years.

I am sorry guys. The only guy that calls the shots on selling parts was out on vacation for 2 weeks. And before that, I was on vacation with family for 10 days. I am taking a whole bunch of different parts and putting this turbo together. Hopefully I will have the parts coming tomorrow.

Any progress worth reporting?

I got the parts in today. I broke my only reeming tool today machining one of the compressor wheels, so I went and picked up some duplicate tools across town. I'll have the CHRA's done tomorrow by lunch time. After that I should be able to do the port work and machine work to the compressor housings. So keep your fingers crossed, I should have them completed tomorrow. I will have 3 of them ready to ship at the latest Thursday. But maybe tomorrow! Hang in there and I'll get it done for you.
