Turbo Advice
Since rebuilding the turbo's is gonna be close to 1k i was looking at the turbo kits on CZP a few of them are 2k and since there brand new would hopefully last me a while and i was wondering if these could be installed, then ran at regular boost pressure or do you have to run them at the higher psi's cos then i would need injectors, mapping etc and all that entails

removing lower steering U joint
i dont wanna try the extensions anymore im worried the bolt will start to round of, so was gonna get a snap on 1/2 socket and with extra space with the gearbox moved forward get right on top of it so can put more force on it that was the plan anyways
-
removing lower steering U joint
my plan was to move the engine forward, this would give me better access to the driver side top nut on the gearbox, then get better access to the nut and take the gearbox off then pull the engine out , i cant take the engine and gearbox out together as i dont have clearance in garage .

Air Con Compressor
as ur pre 94 ur system will probably be full of R12 which is a planet killing gas u have to replace the full system and get a nice friendlier gas or just live with what u've got as finding an aircon system from a breaker aint the easiest. if ur system just needs regassing the r12 oil molecules need to be removed from the system and then it can be regassed with r134 or whatever the equivilent is now its a specialised job.
