<5KCSTQ> Turbo swap

[Dave Head <dhead@sundial.sundial.net>]

5 hours, 45 minutes - start to finish. Had to use the old oil line gaskets -
no leaks yet... Biggest problem was getting that one 15 mm in the back, then
levering the thing outa there. Next time I'll consider disconnecting the
wastegate.
Runs fine - haven't pushed it hard yet (past 1.5). A bit of seal leakage, or
leftover oil (smoked a bit at 1.5 bar).

Scott - the old k26 cold side rotor is VISIBLY bent! When I rotate it, it
must have a 3 degree bend, at least. I also believe this has been rebuilt -
no KKK tag on the turbo, different bolt on the cold side wheel. I have a
hard time believing that it would bow that much on an overheat! Still spins
good, too!
Lots of "grey dust" in the hoses  =:-(
