Junkyard score of the day!

[crashandburn]

So I'm starting to collect parts for a turbo setup from a 6.5 TD to go on my 6.2. I just came home with an intake manifold, the upper plenum, airbox, downpipe, and the turbo for 90 BUCKS!!!
Even better, the turbo is a GM-8, that is the best one they made! It looks to be in good shape and there is no evident endplay on the shaft.
So what if I had to remove it myself? Besides, someone else took something out of the junkyard truck, so the intake manifold was pretty much just sitting there, not even bolted in.

The different yards here are in direct competition with each other, so now it's only a buck to get in and free wheel barrows and engine hoists. plus they are starting to get a lot cleaner. Less trash strewn around
