Were you able to take one of their turbo builds for a test run? I would love to see how much (if any) difference it makes.
No, none were available for a test drive.
I was all stoked though to get mine going. I even cleaned up the engine really good so that they would have a fairly clean engine to work with.

Unfortunately, it was all for naught! Cruisers and Company performed a compression test and leak down test to make sure the engine would work well with the turbo. However, they found out the #6 cylinder was a mess and failed the test by a lot. Also found moisture in the distributor cap. Not good.
I had driven over 3000 miles since I picked up my rig in Colorado and even took it out to Moab which was a long trip as well as stressing it off-road without an issue. But going back up to CO to drop it off at Cruisers and Company’s shop, I kind of knew something was up as my oil light went on and had to put a couple quarts in. When they started the engine after leaving it at the shop, they saw blue smoke coming out of the exhaust. Little did I know I was driving on borrowed time.
So bad news is that I need a complete engine rebuild. Good news is that it in good hands for the rebuild. I will now have a an engine in great condition with the turbo. I can’t wait to drive it after that is all done!
