*AC link's Vert TII Swap*
Well it looks like I'm going to get in to the actual swap now. So I wanted to share it with you all. I will post any of my encounters or any problems I come across. I hope it helps any one doing a similar swap.

Lots of little time consuming issues but nothing major. I can’t wait to see her fire up. I will do a write up on it as soon as I see her running stable for any one that is doing something similar. I have done searches here and never seem to find anything worth reading. I know its taking long but I've only been able to work on her once a week because of my good friend's busy schedule. But now all that's changed. I'm getting on her Monday on.

I know you are into the red and all... but get rid of that XTD clutch.
I did the turbo vert swap as well and that clutch was the weak link.
I just removed mine after 1500 miles (it started slipping after a few hundred and I upped the boost). It still had plenty of meat on it and no burns... it just can't hold much over stock boost levels. I don't care what THEY claim - I claim its a piece of ****.

Your swap is looking great man. I think if you're going to spend the money on a turbo swap, then why not get a great clutch to support it? I haven't had any personal experience with XTD clutches, but I'm sure if you ask around you'll get more negative reviews than positive.

I think this is what I said in the beginning.
Thank you. The clutch stays in for the break in.
Yes I like red and and now I know my clutch is a piece of **** as you claim. But this is not going to be a track car. All I am looking for is a good break in. I'm not going to be boosting and kill my car before break in.
I really appreciate help. Even though your approach in helping someone out needs to be tweaked a little. I am not going to go under my car and drop a tranny just to make you sleep better. My plans are in doing a total upgrade to my car after 6 months. I will go up on the Turbo, CLUTCH. Engine management and so on. But if it’s ok with you and everyone else. I want to make sure she runs stable with no major problems first and you know I will be posting it in here step by step. First you have to learn how to crawl before you run.

Thanks Bro I am saving up for the upgrade or paying off the credit cards lol. Its going to take about 4 to 6 months. I'm thinking standalone and turbo for now but I know I will have to do suspension and breaks first.

I'm Happy to say That the TII vert started right up last night and it was music to my ears. I need to install the fuel pump tomorrow and do a 3" pipe to the back and you should see her rolling down a road near you. I would like to thank my main man homeboy Brother Franklyn. He put that engine together and made it start up on the first try and made me get my hands dirty all the way through the swap. I also want to thank Fuego racing for hooking up the ECU and harness.
