Message	I spent about $4k on this rebuild, maybe. This is a motor that will handle the track abuse I put my car through. It'll start day in and day out without issue. $4k might get me a stock TT swap, maybe. And with that I'm throwing the dice on something used. I trust what I have built over something used. I built this motor with reliability in mind, not power. Power was just a by product of what I have done. All the parts I have use have a purpose. They all replaced either broken or worn down parts. Sure, it doesn't set the world on fire with regards to power, but that wasn't why I built the motor. The car is fun to drive and sounds awesome IMO.
