| 1) It's closer than NC 2) Umm... it's Kyle, you know, the Z engine guru? Why would you have anyone else do engine work? Are you buying the Sport 500s new? If so, don't, and go with something better, like the GT525s or Sport 530s. The 530's are only $200 more, and lightyears better turbos. Yes you would need new downpipes, but selling your old ones would offset some of that cost. The GT525s use the stock turbine housing, so you wouldn't need new downpipes, and actually cost less than the 500s. http://www.importpartspro.com/turbos.html Also, now is the time to snag some MSP manifolds. Or if you need to cut costs, porting the stock manifolds can get you some gains. Now for your engine rebuild... Why does it have low compression? Rings? Valves? I'd root-cause that first before sending my engine anywhere. Reusing your 120K components shouldn't be that hard. Might need a new belt and cam/crank seals, but just remove everything before you send the engine out. Just gotta figure out some way to prevent rust from forming on the pulleys and tensioner.
