    look - Tank, just saying that its possible that running the high RPMs and w/o a temp gauge at that speed the engine may have had a meltdown

    Whats done is done - I just recommend before you fix your engine, you get a new rear end and get the temp stuff working

    very true and as ive said before and am not afraid to admit im still learning however when i put my car in a shop and pick it up im under teh impression the car is ready to roll.........Mike said they test drove the car 'i watched tehm leave" and they beat on it, I test drove the car also with MO in it "short distance", reason i never one time blamed Mainstream was cause i didnt know what caused it so instead i began with them to fix it, however since i posted on supraforums asking about it here we sit.............in my eyes id ont think i did anything wrong to warrant such childish and inappropriate behaviour such as these threads or lies being made but we are at this point. so ill pick up my car and all parts and begin again this time a lil wiser................

    I'd buy another turbo motor.. put it together and fix anything and everything wrong with the car, then build it.
