thanks alot guys

you are not allowed to make that comarison to anyone...ever.... He at least has basic knowledge of cars.... I am more than confident he can at least tell me where the crank is.... and Im sure he knows the deisel crank comes out through the tranny...

So anyway...

mudtoy1986: If you want to rebuild / upgrade your turbo, take it to a local turbocharger shop. DO NOT buy a rebuild kit or a rebuilt / bigger turbo from ebay... they are cheap because they are crap.

Look up in the phone book or online yellow pages for a turbo shop. I got my T3 rebuilt for something like $300-$350, then had it upgraded to a T3/T4 hybrid for $175 more. Check out my cardomain page for pics.

Actually I was talking about punctuation as he didn't have a period, comma, or any other separator in his sentence.

For those who don't know what PUNCTUATION is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuation

Punctuation is everything in written language other than the actual letters or numbers, including punctuation marks, inter-word spaces and indentation.

Punctuation marks are symbols that correspond to neither phonemes (sounds) of a language nor to lexemes (words and phrases), but which serve to indicate the structure and organization of writing, as well as intonation and pauses to be observed when reading it aloud. See orthography.
