Passed inspection! I have a power steering leak to fix, (bought a seal kit), and a turbo oil drain leak, a little Permatex should fix that. Also a speedo cable leak at the trans. I need to pull the gear and find out which one it has, and try to figure out which one I need to get the correct reading on the speedo, and fix the leak. GPS has me going 45, but reading 32mph.
Rides nice, steering needs to be less turns lock to lock, so I need to figure out which box will fit and do that, or do a rack and pinion, which is what I want to do.
I have smaller tires to put on, but still may need to re-gear to get to the optimum rpm.
It's a work in progress.

Does it seem to have more power than the gasser? I would assume it has mountains of torque comparatively, but how is it at 50 mph and up?
