Message	Is going to be expensive because of the "While I'm in there" syndrome. So many things to be replaced while the engine is out, and it adds up fast. Even replacing with new OEM turbos (if you just like a quick lil street car) and not installing MSP manifolds is foolish, again, IMO. Gaskets, hoses motor mounts etc etc. all add up fast, and all should be replaced with the engine out "I'm glad I have the MSP mani's." - jschrauwen 22:20:13 06/10/08 "...Downpipes own.
