Engine Job

My FD has been sitting for a couple of years. Should I do an engine job before I go to single turbo ? i did an engine job with a street port six months prior.

just to be clear, by "engine job" are you asking if your need to rebuild the engine? if so, then you shouldn't need to. I think it's safe to assume you haven't already done it, so go ahead and lube the combustion chambers, and put it through a few rotations by hand. at that point, you should be able to put it all back together with your single turbo system and fire it.
