| Have you considered just buying used stock turbos with good housings? Worst case, you may need new CHRAs which will run you $500ish each. I would also consider getting BDE motor mounts now for more clearance. This way, if you do want to go 2.5" IC piping and intake piping, you'll be setup to install it. As well, get the 3" DPs. They mate up to the rest of the 2.5" exhaust. If you are interested, I could sell you my 3" - 2.5" TPs for a good price as I am considering doing a full 3". Shipping would be cheap from Edmonton. How much of the labour are you doing yourself? Did you pull and are planning on reinstalling the engine yourself? Are you going to assemble the new short block and heads together yourself? This is relatively easy to do and can save you lots on labour costs. As hard is it is to bite the bullet, now is not the time to cheap out. You will kick yourself later. The only issue I see is you will be stuck on getting any sort of a custom tune if you stick to the 95 ECU. It may be worth your money to get a pre 95 ECU. I would seriously consider calling SZ and see what their recommendations are, and they may even have access to a used ECU to sell you. This way, you can be set to get a custom tune when they come out to Edmonton next. Honestly, if you weren't doing this build right now, I would be tempted to sell you my Sport 530s and Nismo 740s with the 300 Degree fuel rail for a really good price as I do want to go with either GTX2860 or GTX2863 turbos in the future.
