I'm just ribbing ya.

The biggest expense if something is really wrong with it would be the injection pump at $2K (give or take) and then a turbo for anywhere from $400 to $2000 depending on what you want.

yeah, i had a pretty good scare when my ps went out, shop guy told me the injection pump might be goin bad too, but once it got checked thoroughly, it was fine.

i saw on ebay a couple turbos for under $600, but were HX40s. i'm lookin round down here but so far no luck really. none in the local junkyards. i want to get this fixed pretty soon, cause its a dd, plus i can't bear the thought of not being able to drive my pickup for whatever time... it sucks.

i'm not lookin for a huge, competition turbo just a stock or slightly modified turbo, that's all i really need.

Any HX35 would do you just fine then really. You can build 34 pounds on that one without trouble. (When set up right and fuelled right).
