Message	Fuzzy :-). $1500 to $3000 - C'mon Man :-) Prepping the engine with a 120k kit, and a fresh clutch and flywheel will take all of your "do it right" budget. So you've bought a clip with the other half of your budget? Are you planning on re-using the (very old ie: worn out) EFI harness, injectors, turbos, motor mounts, oil cooler, radiator? Are you re-using the FPR and damper, fuel filter? Are you re-using the (very old ie:dated technology) stock intercoolers, stock IC pipes, intake, exhaust, JDM downpipes? No boost controller, no gauge even ? No tune? Are you just going to cut ghetto-style holes in the NA bumper, or with the unpainted TT or JDM bumper (for max street cred)? You are giving the Noobie very bad advice IMO.
