All this on stock internals?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I don't recommend any of that without at least sleeving the block. .

You'll probably end up blowing your engine into little peices with pistons flying out the side of your block. But hey, your engine.

Hey,

I would only be interested in a custom turbo once my warranty runs out, or for that matter even if a brand name company put out a turbo. Too unreliable at this stage to take that risk in blowing up my car.

Ray - Hopefully by 2005 there will be a Turbo for our car.

This sounds cool and all, but I would do the internals first. Check out the post in Products and Parts called GUDE BIG HP INFO. That would give you around 180 HP of all motor. Then with the turbo your car would be a land rocket.

The Gude package is setup for NA. It raises your compression, among other things. I have already called and talked to them, and yes it is ok to use it, just wouldn't be a very wise choice.

Well, can I get that manifold you said you already got then? 3 months, you got an one armed monkey working on your car? What was your manifold setup to hold? A T3/T4? LOL! Let me know about that manifold!
