Just a bump on this to shoot over any emails if you have N54 cores available: 1/5/z/RHD series only (we have next to no interest in 3 series).

Pretty much the entire N54 market has gone Chinese, cast a logo into a housing and they show up on a pallet to be repackaged. Much easier process than building them one by one by hand using ones own...

You are going to have to just consider a problem with all of the things you did simultaneously with the turbos relating to oil loss/smoking, unfortunately this is quite a bit. The turbos, vacuum side...

Looks like you had some 6 year old Classic RB's, especially being a pre-inlet day setup, so cool they made it this far for you. Chances are they have some slightly burnt up thrust bearings honestly,...

Nothing wrong with the old weld on style adapter, it was just a bit longer than the newer one and doesn't have a 2nd provision port.

You don't need to plug the head ports, so all good there, but...

They may have refurbished some N54 RB Classics over the years but honestly I'd be surprised if they have done over a couple sets, and more than likely it was only the one they made a video over.
