So. Cal. JDM Importers?

Well, I think my engine is taking a turn for the worse (possible engine coolant leak)
So I thought I would take the opportunity to finally do my N/A to Turbo Swap

My question is if anyone knows a reliable JDM engine importer that would carry T2 engines? I would prefer so. cal. because I would like to see what I am buying before I get it.

And I would prefer not to get any hassle about why i shouldn't do a turbo swap, I have done my research and know what i'm getting into. I have an S5, and as far as I have found, there is very little modifications needed.

I will see if my guy can get his hands on one. He is trying to get a ton of rotaries right now, including 20b's.
