i'm sure you're busting at the seams to drive your baby again.
As an aside for the turbo conversation. If you're thinking about upgrading your turbo, I've always thought it might be a good diea (if you plan to keep something for a while) to buy a blown up turbo for stupid cheap and get it rebuilt by a reputable shop. This would give you the ability to have an essentially brand-new turbo, with the ability to add on stuff like clipped and angled vanes, ball-bearing center-sections, etc. for close to the price of what you would pay for a "good" one used. Granted I've never actually priced this, but it always made sense to me, even if it cost a wee bit more considering the benefits you stand to gain.
