Substitute isotropic super finishing for WPC and then we will talk dollars..

I am actually having one part cryo treated then WPC coated for this engine.

A quick trip to the urban dictionary :

1. faffing
Time wasting/feckin' around
Stop faffing around and do the dishes!

2. faffing
to aimlessly waste time doing useless tasks
stop faffing around and come to bed my love

Just took apart my brand new CHRA for Micro Blue.

As soon as I can find my little turbo container I'm going to ship it off to them. Thought I'd show all the curious folks what the assembly looks like inside the center housing.

Im just getting the turbo out today.

I'm leaning toward scrapping my custom intercooler piping fantasy and just working the kinks out with the stock greddy crap.

Yes, or even better I think we should take a road trip to make sure they know exactly what you want. You off during the week at all? Or call Comp turbo directly and see what they charge?

Just spoke to a dude at majestic, they are going to do all the work and balance the assembly for me, its looking close to $300 for that.

I don't normally have off during the week, I'd need to use a PTO day. They seem like a good straight forward people that aren't going to dick me around and they do the machining in house.
