    Turbo 400

     



    I have a rebuilt turbo 400 that has never been installed, it has been in storage for 2 to 3 years. What should be done to it before install?

    I expect that he's ready for a tranny fluid change by now This question is from April '11, almost 20 months ago. What's the point
