damn, what have u spent with 20k??? a rebuild n what not,
cuz i came up with 14k without labor, well, labor would consist of mt dew n some good old moms azn cooking, but the 14k had consisted of a turbo upgrade, street port, full exhaust, bov, wastegat, headers, all of the electrical stuff, wires, fmic, n lots of other stuff!!!!
well, if you could put in a 13bre then that adds what 1.5k n less????
just wondering so i can start saving up!!
