Thanks.  It's been a slow process, that has hit a wall.  That wall is called, "No Money!"  What also helps, is that Marlin and the crew at the shop treat me like family, so they help out when I get stuff from them.  I send them cheese too!!  


It's not that I'm trying to persuade you from a 22RTE, but all the info I read online, I learned that the 22RTE was a bandaid to get more power.  Because they were competing with Nissan and their V6 that came out in 1986.5.  And to properly make the 22RTE more reliable, and better, it took alot of $, and fabricating.  And a majority of the people who do them, regret the fact that they wasted all this time and money for nothing.  Most just swap in 3RZ's, and a way better motor.  Better mpg, HP, and TQ overall, and in stock form.  Turbo's need to be driven differently.  After being driven hard, they have to have a cool down time, before shutting off the motor, or you will burn up the bearings in the turbo.  And then there is the boost aspect.  In a stock setup, they didn't spool up till around 2800ish RPM's.  I don't know about you, I don't get over that unless I'm speeding up and shifting gears, and just cruising down the road, I'm doing about 2500 rpms.  So, your not using the turbo at all. 

Just sharing my knowledge.
