Hope to see you in the next one...

LOL, i could see the looks of sadness as i pulled off. With my helmet on, you couldnt see or hear me going "fuck, fuck, fuck"
There doesnt seem to be any pieces or chips off the blades themselves. Ive completely drained the intercooler, piping & BOV but im sure there is still gonna be some in the IM thats gonna have to burn off.
My plan is to simply purchase another used T28 to get her up and running, and will most likely send this one off for a rebuild in the near future.
Im just relieved its not the motor.
