Crappy Tire has lots of TRW stuff on sale right now. And any jobber should be able to get you the "cheaper stuff".

Is this the same TE62 we saw attached to the GN that belonged to the guy you bought your latest car from? 'Cause if it is... I am sad to say I have no money left to buy it. But, it is the one I want. But, I can't have it. frown

Mike...

I saw that Canadian Tire had their suspension parts on sale now at 15% off regular price. But does anyone know if UAP prices are better than Canadian Tire??

I used to get parts at Karbin Automotive Sales (Woodbine/Steele) and they had cheap stuff but they are not longer around.

And yes, that is the turbo from Rich's GN. He said to spread the word that the turbo was for sale.
