      Yup, SC300. If it were easy, I would already have the body panels!

      There aren't a ton up here, but I wasn't sure if you had suggestions on locating parts in general. There are a thousand sites that want you to fill out all your information online, and they'll "search a million junkyards" or "put the request for parts out to all junkyards" but I can't tell if they're using the same network, or if some are scams, or what. Where would you start if you had to find semi-rare parts?

            My go to is http://www.car-part.com - then LKQ then Ebay? They're rare cars around here. I used to to want one to mod up - only found 2-3 of them in all of NE for sale and they were all $4-8K+

            Yeah I think I cooked the rings or the turbo I installed is junk. I bought a blown up 92 944T from a guy who thought it needed a timing belt. Showed up & noticed there was no oil or coolant and what little oil I was able to locate felt pretty gritty. I ended up pulling the turbo off from it and putting it on my 91 944 just to get me by - I flushed it quite a bit before I installed it.

            After I installed it I noticed it had one hell of a pull to it when you went WOT - installed an aftermarket boost gauge and saw the problem

            ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE WASTE-GATE WORKS BEFORE INSTALLATION crap.

            So now I've got a cooked turbo - or rings because it has started to blow blue smoke. My 531 Penta heads up at Butler McMaster getting re-worked with bigger valves but I'm not about to drop a $1500-$2000 head onto a motor with glittery oil. So now I've gotta build up one of the squirter blocks I have lying around.

            Stock 13C Turbo - I have a 16T that I picked up local needs a rebuild kit though. Haven't gotten around to buying one. The plan is to rock a HX35 on this build and put a frankenstien motor into the black chasis with some 650cc injectors, 16T & 3" exhaust for a peppy tire burning daily driver.

            What years your 7? Volvo's are great cars even if they require a donor power plant!

                So you must post on TubroBricks to have TheLostArtOf's chips? What's your handle on there? Must be a fun ride with a good amount of pep!

                You need larger injectors - more exhaust & bigger turbo. Open hat 18psi upto 250-275
