Default Project Turbo Begins

Well I finally caved in and ordered my Speedcraft turbo kit. In addition, I've ordered a full set of Greddy Guages, forged pistons (to lower the compression) and a new dash so I can cut in all of the guages / electronics nice and neat. I would like to post pictures as I progress but for some reason it says "you may not post attachments". Oh well. I think I may buy a new engine block and have it sleeved since I have 36k on my motor already. I'll play that one by ear. Any imput will definitely be taken into consideration.

Congratulations money bags! Good luck! I would vote for sleeving the/a block. If you are going to do the motor at all then do it all.

my car has a turbo on it and the only thing that i did to the block is pistons and seals you don't have to do much else.
s2000 come from factory with high performance rods. oh and
beware of the map sensor missing links don't work on s2000
for some reason you can go with a comptech esm unit or plain
old check valves
