I'm doing a poll for a project of mine.   http://www.webpollgenerator.com/ViewPoll.php?p=51cbe078558c3

so i needed a rebuild on the turbo on the 87 starion i bought . got a kit on ebay and rebuilt it the seals and shaft went back together and on the exaust side didnt look right . and of course its blowing smoke out the exaust wile the turbo is not hooked up to the intake so im wondering what is an ok replacement for a stock motor off ebay i can get.

In the years 2013, I never imagined that door to door vaccuum sales people still exist. Had a knock on the door today from a team of sales dudes selling Kirby vaccuums.   I know Kirby because my parents had a 70's generation Kirby and 10 years ago they bought a new generation one that does everything including shampoo, paint spray, sander, air pump and a whole lot more. Downside is they expensive, $1300!   Any of you guys owns a Kirby?

What's the word on decent aftermarket pistons? I know wiseco makes good products but I'm on a serious budget. Looking for stock bore. Compresion ratio anywhere from below stock up to 7.5:1ish. I saw DNJ stock pistons on rock auto for 95$ but I'm thinking they'll be crappy. Didn't see anything on Randy's site unfortunatly. Someone mentioned silvolite makes a 6.9:1 piston but can't find it online. Suggestions highly apreciated.
