That's not bad, I paid about $250 for an MSP T25 that supposedly had 45k miles but it pushes oil as well. Used turbos can be a crapshoot

I would like to get a used one to rebuild.

I'm gonna do some research. In general how much fabricating would take to get a disco put in?

You can use the original water lines if you cut them and then them to make it around the larger compressor housing. Or you can buy new water lines and bend them the way you want

So just the water lines is an issue. Sounds pretty straight forward.

So, this is still going on. The shipping was paid and I was given a confirmation number of my order and told it would ship out within 24 hours. That was 05/29, went on vacation and returned 06/04 to no cap. Emailed Mishimoto to find out what was going on. Come to find out since my PayPal address doesn't match the email address I used, they cancelled the order without letting me know and even closed the claim as completed. Oh, and also didn't refund the $10 shipping charge. I had to open another claim so that they could ship it. I was provided a tracking number last night and shows that it's on a truck heading this way.
This experience with Mishimoto has been awful.
For a rad cap? I would have just gone to supercheap auto for one heh. I understand wanting to be done right as a customer, but there is a point when your own time and patience investment outweighs the cost of parts and bulls*** heh.

Well, transmission #7 bit the dust last night. Getting and installing another this week. Not going to invest in the transmission reinforcement plate as Blake had it installed with cryo-treated gears and continued to have third gear issues.

Got the okay to look for a replacement daily-driver under $6,000. Probably get a CX-7, though the 09+ 6's nice and I've seen them as low as high-4's with high mileage. Need a larger car to accommodate the girls.

Yeah, I just hope the brake pedal doesn't end up mushy do to the significantly larger piston. I really hate mushy brakes but I hate messing with master cylinders more.

Damn it. I literally bought and installed new pads and rotors three days ago. Kept going back and forth between going MS6 or OE replacement.... Had I had this visual four days ago, there's no doubt I'd have gone MS6.Ms6 brakes v msp brakes
