So here's how the story goes. I had just bought a 1600cc injector kit and a new engine harness and had them installed. Then had the car tunned. About a week later the car lost compression in the front rotor. Numbers read 70,70,50 rear read 70,70,70. After i found that out i was pretty pissed off. But then i thought why be mad when now is the time to convert it to manual and go faster. So i searched and searched and searched for a new engine with a transmission. So i found one and the guy threw in a greddy elbow with it So i figured now that i have the engine its time to start ordering new parts and since my birthday was right around the corner you can guess what i asked for.
What i bought.
S372-- From bullseye performance
ACT six puck clutch-- 600$
Intercooler--400$
3row radiator--140$ shipped
clutchline--14$
What i got for my birthday
new leather for the seats
defi racer blue black out gauges (boost,water temp, oil preasure)
short shifter
Shifter **** and leather boot.
So once i got the engine i stripped it down to the block and brought it to JPR for a Large Street port. While i was waiting for that i decided to try and polish the UIM. I also put on the intercooler and new radiator. I cant wait to give the car to Jim and get it back. Ill post pictures a little later

Where in south jersey are you? I had Jim build my motor and Dee tune it, I put it all together and I can't believe how fast and good it runs! I have the same setup as you. Same turbo, ic setup, clutch. Did you get the sprung version? That's what I have, I love it... 0 problems with it, hooks up great with the act pro lite flywheel.

yeah i got the sprung version and its a greddy knock off 3 row i think intercooler, do you have the 1.10 ar exhaust side and its a 72.4mm trim wheel. Jim has a flywheel for me. Did you ever dyno it at 15psi? Oh yeah and Dee will tune it again i wish it blew up before i had him tune it lol. I'm like 2 minutes from Jim
