Well, progress has been slow on my turbo swap.  I am now reassembling the 7M-GTE, I put 
the head on last night, and discovered that I do not have an appropriate socket to deal 
with the ARP head studs.  OOPS!  Oh well then, so I'm shopping for a 14mm 12pt deep socket 
today.

It's getting closer, pretty soon I'll be able to fgeel boost pushing me back in my seat.

In other news, I appear to have lost my mind somewhere.  I sold my AFM, and bought a Lexus 
AFM and PTE 550cc injectors.  Damnit!  The engine isn't even running yet, and I'm doing 
upgrades.  I also bought the lower intercooler hardpipe from http://www.speed-
source.net/products/intercooler.htm  This looks to be a nice little product, and since I 
ripped my OEM one, the $95 shipped price is cheaper than an OEM replacement of the rubber 
part.

Next thing you know, I'll be buying an upgraded turbo and a complete hardpipe kit...  Oh 
wait.  I need a better intercooler first...
