Well the turbo has been done.... Brand new GT3582R core in my car now. 
Except I still have some intermittent smoke from potential worn valve stem seals :( 

I think i'll have to say i'm out until at least mid-to-late next year. 

Thanks man,
I probably won't be doing it any time soon. I'll worry about it in a few months.

Valve stem seals will usually leak on the overrun...

Josh, if it were the rings, i'd known about it.
It seems to only occur after intense vacuum on hot days. i.e. acceleration after a long downhill/deceleration stretch.

It isn't too serious, and happens pretty infrequently... 

Oh ok, in that case it should be fine to go on the dyno then :D

Your shout? ;)

sure if you can gather another 3 or 4 MR2s? :P
