Ah man, and from the title, I thought this was going to be a humor post.
There is no humor to be had here.
All mine are in use right now. If it comes down to brass tacks, you I we can remove the vf34 from zaxrex1...

thanks dude, but i don't think we'll need to get down to brass tacks. i'm searching nasioc and have made a post over there as well. hopefully something will turn up locally. quickly.

If it becomes a crunch I can give you my old vf22,
It has an odd whir to it, but the seals appear to be in good condition.
Let me know.

I've got a PnP'd vf39 that supposedly has a bad wastegate actuator? It's all yours if you still need it.

Maybe I'll do my headers on Sat and we can do your turbo on Sun
What did you end up getting?

It's a solid Turbo, but I'm down a few lbs. I can and will happily troubleshoot once we make it safely make it to Colorado. Thanks so much dude!!!

That's to bad. DeadBolt insisted that it was just the actuator. Well once you get over there it can be your new paperweight to remind you of the crew!

i don't necessarily think it's the snail man... i was down a few lbs before i put your turbo on. it might have something to do with the stock axleback, or the recirc valve.
either way, you seriously saved my bacon here. i owe you
big.
