Didnt need to rewire anything. Just wired up the haltech, fuel pump, coils and was good to go. Will probably go do a Painless harness when Im ready.

Aaroncake admitted that it was stupid to turbo the six port for any other reason than to have something different.

It involves much more work and risk than its worth. He has blown up several transmissions because he did it half way for one reason or another. Bad choice on an example there.

If you had a roller with an REW rather than a BT, you would be better off selling it and bolting in the BT. If you have the means to get up in the 600hp ranges where the studding of the motor begins to play into what you do, you have the means to reinforce the engine. The reason you wouldn't try it is because it's been tried many times before and it's a well known fact that it's much more trouble than it's worth. Just like the 6 port turbo.

I used those Motifab ones, but they suck the big one.
