Yeah, the turbo honestly doesn't seem that bad. I don't know how on earth you can produce one for 100 dollars, but we'll take it, haha.

As for updates, mainly just some pictures. We got the new block off plate but we don't have any hardware that's the right length for it. We got the new rad in (my internet is shamefully pathetic at my house, so apparently I never got the rad pictures uploaded this weekend. I'm posting this from my parent's house because they actually have internet). You can see the rad in these pictures, but I had some other shots I wanted to post. Anyway, we got the charge pipe and the intake pipe figured out. Kyle (15psi88) taught Drew and Eli to TIG this weekend which ate up some time while we otherwise didn't have much to do. They both welded part of the intake pipe. It wasn't the prettiest stack of dimes in the world, but they learned a valuable new skill that most folks building a car will never know, including myself at this juncture. There was also just a lot of general ****ery this holiday weekend.

So, we didn't do much. We 100% decided we're getting either MS2 or that Speeduino setup. But that's not going to be until spring, most likely. Oh, and we got a new temporary stablemate. We got that slow piece of **** Viper out and moved our buddy's single turbo Camaro in so Kyle can weld a 10pt cage in.
