Got the next CHRA for my turbo delivered today
It doesnt fit my aftermarket turbine housing, and i'm not putting the stock downpipe and housing on there

Welp, bought a worn turbo with a good housing from germany.

This is how to end up with two and half turbo when you only needed one :mrgreen:

Made more room for it in the driveway by..... selling my Saturn (former daily driver) for use as a parts car to a guy on the Saturn forum. I felt sad to let it go, but I didn't have room or a need to keep it as a part car for another Saturn that I also don't have room for. When I drove it this morning, for the first time in months, on my short trip to get coffee, I was reminded how rough it is.

I'm sure it has served its purpose well! The Saturn community is an interesting place, and I'm sure it will go to good use.

Not per tank of fuel, unfortunately. The Volvo doesn't get the mileage, and on top of that I haven't figured out the rich condition yet. After I finish up with a couple of other projects, I'll address it in earnest again.

The 850 sure does ride nice, though..... and the AC works!
