by the name of the picture... I believe its a 58 trim. 
I'm contemplating upgrading mine to a smaller trim like you also. So let us know how she runs.

Clean turbo? That would be the only thing under Grim's hood that's clean. :biglaugh:
Untrue, oh spreader of filthy rumors! I have a clean clutch fan too.
I've driven it, sure, but it's been raining here, so I have to be gentle. It's freaking JULY - where the hell is my summer?

4 hours to change a turbo!
Yikes grim!
1 1/2 hours tops, in & out!
:biglaugh:
90 minutes only works if you're dedicated! My time includes the stand around and BS with the guys bit, plus a run to the parts store to pick up a couple gaskets... and I am still using the stock oil lines, no flexible steel braid for me.
Dollarwise I got a smoking deal. Picked it up for $400 CDN, looks absolutely brand new to me.americanjebus said:
Hey Dave;
You'd better give it up on how that sucker performs!? I'm waiting on my JBL Aeromotive fpr plug & play, Lexxus maf came today. 57 Trim is sittin' at the Turbo guy's place with a 10 degree clip on the exhaust side now. Bic DDP is waitin' for me @ HP Freaks, so I expect to see a little improvement. :biglaugh: I did opt for the braided oil lines though, I heard it makes things way easier! Date with the dyno next Friday baby!!!! :naughty:

yeah when i got my turbo upgraded I was kickin myself for not getting the braided lines. Guess I never will now for the CT - if I ever have to take that turbo off to be replaced, I'm gonna go with something different. :icon_bigg
Still no luck on performance... roads are just starting to dry up now, but the forecast isn't good, and I'm still at work.
At this rate, you'll know yourself before I do.

Ok, finally got some time in the dry.
I'm more than impressed. It's damn nice. It doesn't stop pushing until someplace past redline, I've bounced off the rev limiter several times without realizing it was coming up. Suddenly I can understand why people need shift lights!
