s4 turbo engine rebuild question

I have a t2 center iron with a small street port an n/a rotors. Every thing else will be stock turbo 2 stuff. Should i go with it or try to find all stock parts. Im not building a race car just a weekend toy. Any major problem you guys can think of? I was hoping to put it together this weekend or should i wait and try to find another turbo rotor?

It will run. Higher compression will give a bit more response and power. Still, you run the risk of blowing up (as usual). Ultimately a computer upgrade would help.

you really should do some searching/research. there's a big risk of detonation when you don't know what you're doing.
