Damn you!
Seriously though ... I already have two engines out of the car, so that's not an issue ... but I really don't want to put them back into the car without rebuilding them - which entails time and money. The budget for this kind of project will by necessity be spread out over a longer period of time - which means, no boosted engine for a while.
What I really want is to get boosted again in the short term, with a reliable low-mileage engine - in time for a couple or three more track weekends this year - I really, really miss the added 60 or so horses.
With the engines out of the car I can easily re and re the S/C myself - so the only cost remaining is the labour to re and re of the engine and I don't have to wait to do it.
