Message	no matter what the cost. Here is how my project evolved: 1. TTZ, down on power, worn out, poor compression. 2. Basic rebuild, new parts, clutch, etc. 3. Expanded basic rebuild, from SGP. 4. Upgraded new turbos, 530 ball bearing. 5. Inconel manifolds, new downpipes, testpipes. 6. Upgraded twin pop intake, 555 injectors... 7. All new oil and coolant lines for turbos... 8. Eliminate EGR system, AIV system I ended up adding Stillen intercoolers, air guides, all new bolts for the exhaust, a new cat back, new suspension (struts, coilovers, adjustible arms, etc), new wheels (Volk TE37s), short shifter, clutch line, brake lines, painted up calipers, upgraded stereo, new front fascia, Stillen oil cooler, relocated PTU, and on and on. New t-bolt clamps for Scotts hard pipes, new battery, stainless steel bolt dress up kit, new timing belt covers, Greddy profec b, all new greddy gauges, SAFC, rewelded inconel manifolds, newer style divorced GD downpipes, etc and etc! It all costs $$$$....you cant take it when you go, so I am enjoying what I can. Jeff
