Should I buy the 93 turbo block and heads for $150?

Junked wagon, missing the ECU and manifold, but I can get the block tommorrow. It also has the stock turbo and exhaust. (that would be extra of course)

Has the hood in good shape except for the cracked scoop.

Hell yeah! Much less boost reliability issues ... hmm, what about a turbo and supercharged Legacy :lol:

Um, why are you even considering this? Buy it. :)

I assume this is from a pick n pull. What's the car look like, why does it look like it's in the yard? Grab as much stuff as you can, shove the boost sensors in odd places if they make you pay extra for them.

Doh!!!!!

Wife told me last night she works today at 10:30, which would give me an hour to run to the junkyard and get those last two lower nuts off.

Nope.

She has to leave at 8:45, and the junkyard opens at 9.

Guess I will be out there tommorrow.
