I'm in Garden CIty, right next door to Redford. I don't have any "hot air " background, but I'm willing to help if I can.

cool. the problem with the car has to do with the oil pump, or so he says. the car is in really good condition and i am afraid to tell you what he is asking. I am just not sure what i need to do and would like it if someone else with turbo experience could help. send me your phone # and i will give you a call. or , do you have aim? my aim is Long Live R2D2
