[Supras] The longest NA -> T swap in SOGI history approachescompletion!

[Bob]

If you can live without cross drilled unobtanium brake rotors and pads 

Parts America (Kragen, Advance et all) will ship you adequate Wagner rotors
and pads for not a lot of money.  Their fine for most everything but maybe
racing.

It lives!

After too many months of effort, the 7M-GTE is now sitting in my engine bay
growling away.

The 3 1/2 months of sitting have not done good things to my brakes, which
now make ungodly noises 
at me whenever the car moves.  Applying the brakes only makes things worse.
New brakes are on 
the agenda real soon, now.  I wish I could afford to just have this done,
but with the state of 
my finances...  Not so much.  I'll be doing that sometime this week.

I have to get my winter tires swapped off too.  That's scheduled for
tomorrow morning.  That 
reminds me that I want to get the nice-looking rims from the parts car too.
Hmmm...  Maybe I 
should keep the brake callipers, too.  The rotors are rusty junk, by now.
Oh well.

I also need exhaust work done.  I'm thinking that a 3" turbo-back system
with a resonator would 
be a good thing.  I want quiet, but good flow.  There's got to be a way...
I'll start asking 
about that.

6 psi at the manifold is good.  Boost control will make good into great.
