Chris just posted pictures on the Corvette Forum of his engine with the oil pan taken off. Thought that he might have posted something here. Maybe he still will.

Re: My Corvette Life: 1990 Callaway Twin Turbo Project
You're right, he's back on making videos and here's four of them over the past few weeks
3 weeks ago, removed the Oil Pan:

Have enjoyed his videos. The one on starter removal explained why I wasn’t able to get the starter off 88-048. Wouldn’t have guessed you’d need to drop the pan a little.

I was just under my 88 Vert and it looks like there’s a bolt that’s going back thru the Callaway relo piece into the starter. I’m currently trying to replace my turbo water lines. Kevin

Re: My Corvette Life: 1990 Callaway Twin Turbo Project
I am very excited to see Rotomaster back to supporting these turbos!! That’s two owners this year that had rebuilds done.

Re: My Corvette Life: 1990 Callaway Twin Turbo Project
When I did my Rotomaster rebuild I was in the assumption Rotomaster was out of business and I brought mine to a local Rallye car mechanic.
Mine is rebuild with Garrett parts.

Maybe the new owner will make a Vlog to continue the series and work

Re: My Corvette Life: 1990 Callaway Twin Turbo Project
Agreed….and yes it most likely will. There is suspicion that the motor is shot. That will complicate the restoration as it cost will start to significantly exceed the value of the carcallaway4fun wrote: ↑Fri Jul 07, 2023 5:48 pm Maybe now it will get better than a rattle can restoration.
