Pquest users,

As you know we lost the turbo last week. After determining that it was
not field repairable, several pump rebuilders were contacted for
rebuilds or exchanges. Rebuild time is 2-3 weeks. We have located an
exchange unit in New Jersey and our pump has been shipped there today.
The company is awaiting arrival of our purchase order before releasing
the exchange pump. We are now expediting the paperwork. The tool may be
back up early in the week 12/13.

We are trying a temporary repair by adapting a larger turbo to the
pquest. An adapter flange is currently being made and should be here
this Tuesday. The temporary pump operational status is unknown, so this
repair may not work. If it does, the tool may be available by next
Wednesday.

Stay tuned for further updates.

Dick
