I don't doubt that (although I'd prob take my time and remove completely to spray housing w/ copper to look a bit nicer)... and not sure HRC wants their pricing up, but the long rebuild kit right now is $188, a prof rebuild is $300, and a S20G upgrade is $500 (plus shipping and taxes, since they moved to FL - where I live). So if I'm looking at a couple hundred dollars at the least, I wanted to see if I couldn't get a bigger (or spare) turbo.
