Alvin,

had something to do at S-Car-Go today... wow. The plumbing is a work of art. I suggest that anyone that likes their bank account the way it is... DO NOT go to S-Car-Go !

Mark (and Rob) don't know the phrase "we can't do that".

which is

dangerous.

I'd take a second look on that. Just as a percaution.
Otherwise, super jaleaus because I'd put that motor to good use in Germany these days.
Its not mauled in anyway. Its paint that has rubbed off on the corners that make it appear that way. Tial assembled the turbo.

Glad you're not keeping the engine in the living room :-) Make sure to take some video/audio when you fire it up.

Alvin, awesome.
Will we see it out on tour this Spring?
I'd like to check it out in person some day. If not, I'll head over to Rob's shop before it leaves

Those headers are art.

I spotted a small flaw:
I see a stock shift rod in there with it's floppy rubber thing
You need an appropriate shift rod... powder coated yellow
