Anyone have an X TB?

I'm in need of a core for an x TB. Anyone got one?
Or even better, anyone have one already modified they'd sell? I can't wait to send mine off for modification..

Last I checked Aby @ Mil.Spec had some ready to go, and he'll just refund your core charge once you send your stocker back in (this is what Armando, Tom, and myself all did anyway).

Aby sold his last core last weekend. He won't have any more for a month. Boomba is also out of cores. MAP has none in stock.
Grimmspeed is my last place to check, have to call them in a little bit.

Otherwise, I guess IM/TB work will be put on hold w/ the new turbo kit. Maybe that'll give marco @ magnus a chance to get a v5-type IM for the x

OP, are you looking for a oem X tb or a 64mm unit?

My guess is 64mm.

I told you the 1st week of november, which isnt a month away....

Is it imperative that you get your car worked on @ the date you have in mind?

My car goes under the knife on ~oct 28, and will only be at the shop for a few days until I need it back.

Aby, we'll give you a call when I drop off my car, and if you have something in stock that we could have in time, I'll get it. Otherwise I'll just wait, and in the end you'll get to see gains from a tb/im swap on a large turbo :-)

and yea, 64mm. I'm asking around here if they have an OEM that I could send to you

I have plenty of oem units.

i sent my fixtures to this old guy that now does the machining. i no longer have free access to a mill & lathe for the tb machining, hence the lag for getting the parts machined.

i just boxed up some tb's to send out tomorrow, hopefully usps priority will get them to him on saturday & he can just turn around the X tb's, so hopefully i get them back tues/wed, assemble wed eve, send out priority to your choice & get to you in time....

sounds nice & all, but it comes down to when my guy can get to them. he maybe @ the track, so i will call him in the morning & will pm you with what i find out.
