Um... I started my swap in August.. I'm like a week away from the car running. That is with steady flow of money to buy whats needed and with help from everyone on the board to put up with stupid questions. Enjoy!

STAY WITHIN SERIES!!!.... or buy Haltech.

I think I will get this motor rebuilt with the 3mm seals and put a single turbo on it. Then use the rest of the money on paint, wheels and lowering springs.

I used the NA cable and just built a bracket for it. Basicly cut 2 brass hose sleves used 2 bolts from my box and a sheet of steal I cut up and drilled 4 holes in then used 2 more bolts and nuts to hold the cable bracket onto my new metal bracket.

2mm will be fine, save your money and go standalone and get a good tune. A good tune is the first defence against detonation.
