I received my turbo back on Friday from BNR turbo.  This is the same guy
that did the upgrade for David Leonard.  The weather isn't good this weekend
to reinstall the turbo, so it will have to wait for next weekend.  I have three photos that I'll send.  Each one I cropped to a 640X480 for
size.  The originals were 10.2 mega pixel, so the file size was a little too
big to send to the mail list.

The upgraded turbo has 360 degree thrust  bearing, and T04 compressor
housing, the waste gate has been opened up, and the hot side wheel has been
trimmed and balanced.

My turbo was a little different than David's in that it was an S5
(1989-1991), and I believe that David's is an S4.  Bryan at BNR Turbo told
me that the S5 upgrade was easier to do.  He didn't go into too much detail,
but he said that the S5 waste gate was larger to start with was one of the
reasons.  If anyone wants some of the high-def photos, just let me know, and I'll
email them to you.
