So, uh. Where are you? I don't see a location anywhere in this post or your profile, beyond the place that rebuilt it.

Guy named Greg make the motor? I swear I know him. Use to live in Temecula and worked at a machine shop there. If it is Greg's shop I'd say the motor was done well. He knew his stuff when I worked for/with him back in the day.

I would assume Greg did this motor, the whole time I was at the shop getting mine done he talked all about this car and its engine and turbo setup.

Might have to give the dude a ring just for old times sake. Worked with/for him at a few places. One of the cooler/nicer bosses I've had over the years.

This was built by Greg at Millennium Motorsports in Temecula CA.

The Volvo springs are a simple plug and play that people used to do often with the Miata head. I will have to find the part number. I actually got them from MarkP.

I dont believe I would be parting this out.

I need to sell it ASAP. I have a huge costly project that needs to be finished in 2 weeks for Long Beach.

PS- not going LS.

What year did you source the block from, does it have an oil supply line for a turbo already?

I believe it is a 94-97 block. It does have a oil and water supply line already next to the dipstick.
