    First looking to see if anybody has gone the extra mile when rebuilding there Engines, Rears, Turbo, etc. Using this MicroBlue technology. I hear some goog but don't know much about this technology. If I decided to go with a New glider with the 60 series 12.7 this technology might be something I would be interested in maybe.
