WTF?! I called them and the guy on the phone sounded like he didn't know what a compression test was. Well I was told I should also get a leak-down test done, but after being told twice that with compression numbers like the ones I got, and with zero blow by in the engine, a leak-down would only be a waste of money. Well, time to call up Nick at MPi and give the nod. I'm getting the upgrade/rebuild!

BAHAHAHAHAHA wow...omg what's a compression tester?? Yeah, w/ those kinds of numbers I think you're ok.

Way to stay positive! They rebuilding the turbo for you?

Yeah, the guy was like "you want us to check your compression ratio?" I about LOL'd on the phone. I just said nevermind and thanks anyway (lol2).

Anyhow, yep, they're going to replace the cartridge and then do the upgrade. It's pricey but still less than a new turbo and I get something better. LOL, just like with my accident back in June - I have to turn a bad thing into something positive.

Started working on my pedals. I think I'll try painting them, and see how it turns out. if it looks like s***, then I'll just get a different set, or look into powdercoating...

Way to stay positive Magnum!! It will all work out in the end for ya.

Today I left work early and made a trek down the PA turnpike to Lansdale PA to pick up a goodie for another member (not going to say for who or what, I will leave that up to him).

I am going to make another attempt to get my exhaust on after work. If it does, then I have some cool pics of the mid pipe.

 

[Demoniam]

damn...the pedals came it like s***...I figured as much. oh well, nothing a little paint stripper cant fix!

 

[aMaff]

[DeadGeneration]

Would have been if I recoated with the original Sterling, but I opted to pay a $50 "upgrade fee" for the extreme ...

Hmmm? I might have to look into this.

This winter I already plan on pulling the headers from my 1950 Chevy truck to have them coated. Might be a good time to have the Mazda header recoated with the super stuff.
