I went to the junkyard yesterday trying to find a 2.8L engine for a camaro/firebird. We pulled 4 engines and all had bad bearings. I also found 6 Turbo Lebarons....but I didn't grab the turbos cause they look like a pain in the *** to get out.

lebaron turbo's make my hands hurt when i think about how crazy they had to bend to fit between the firewall and the engine.

Lebarons have the turbo mounted on the back of the engine down low. I've never wasted my time trying to get one, PITA

Found my car in the parking lot at pull-a-part. Keys in the ignition, title on the seat... so I hopped in and drove it home.

I went to a junkyard and found a saab turbo and decided to ask how much it was before even touching it. the guy at the counter said, "uh, that turbo sells for $200". I looked at him and said, "where?" hahaha Then we left.

I wasn't there, but Ghetto D told me yesterday that Julio recently went to the junk and tried to snag an ecu. He got caught and they made him pay $40 for it. hahaha. Midwest junkyards own you ECU= $14

we have a junkyard here that specializes in volvo, porshe...(imports) and i went there looking for a turbo. the guy said he was about to close, but i could come back and go through the "ambulance of turbos" which was an old ambulance full of turbos. so kevin and i went there, went back to the ambulance, and there were about 3 seized up turbos and nothing else

kevin and i were all excited to get there buy a bunch of turbos, and found nothing. :P

I did manage to get away with a long snap-on extension though, which i use all the dam time.
