So for 400-450whp turbo set up, on an 03 F20c with 160k miles, would you be worried about the stock valve springs / guides / seats? I changed the retainers about 10k miles ago, and will be putting in a new short block this week. I haven't had any issues in the head, and I know normally stock would be sufficient, but with the mileage, are these things you would think are worth the hassle of replacing?

You are going to have plenty of fun surprises
I suppose that could be an issue but then most people would be worried about valve float with even a low mileage setup at that power level.

Hi all
What fuel pump and injectors would you suggest I go with for my intended setup? I plan to get the new TTS supercharger kit and run it at full boost (18-20 psi) which should bet me between 450-500whp. Please note I will also be running e85.
Cheers

Anyone know why there's such a large price difference between these HKS SSQV 4's? They all have the same part #, but there's upwards of $200 price difference. I think the $50 one isn't genuine, but I'd like to hear some other input, especially between the $150 and $270.
