Here's a couple I am considering. I think the 98 is free from the "53" block issue since its a 12v? The older one isn't Ppumped so i don't think its as desirable but the price is tempting. I like the lower milage, what do you guys think of these? If they had nv4500's it would be a no brainer. Is it atypical that the turbo had to be rebuilt before 148k?
