|  I would consider a turbo from a different source, unless Kirban's has some sort of super deal going. My guess is that the thrasher chip will work ok. But, I'm not much for chip knowledge.

| John Craig may be a little more expensive, but you'll never need another one. Conversely, you'll find a better deal at some places,.... and you get what you pay for. Not that you'll definately tear one up, but if you do, you'll want the Craig Turbo.

I maybe interested in dumping my stocker for a 49. Thought about a 51...... But since people were having problems with them....... 49 sounds good enough for me. Thanks.

Up here,Jim Haley is the only guy I will let touch a turbo I own.He'll also be building any future turbos I buy[he can do 72's,etc.].He knows his stuff and his builds do last. Sounds like you're going to do the right thing and get a properly built turbo the first time. You'll save down time and possible parts replacement with attendant costs.Do it right and enjoy yourself. Have fun. ------------------ Give em' hell!

|  I think the common thing is to buy from a vendor that sells his (John Craig) turbos and have him do any retro, upgrades or rebuilds. He did some preventive mantainence on one of mine and I couldn't believe how reasonable his prices were; still runs great 5 years later. You can ask him dumb questions and he doesn't freak out...he's a good guy! |
