ok. time for a little update.
as some of you know, i had a VF39 that i got off nasioc, which i was planning on installing this fall. it was ported by deadbolt, and to put it very nicely, the job was foul. it looked like it was done with a hammer and chisel. and it had the wastegate crack. . . .
i found a gentleman on nasioc that was interested in it, and we made a little trade. my 39, for his VF23. the 23 is currently with the fine folks at blouch getting a P&P job, along with a ceramic coating. they gave it a clean bill of health, and will begin the balancing process today.
