Message	As many of you may know by now i am or was planning or rebuilding my motor when i upgrade to HKS 2530 turbos. I have about $10k to spend on my car. If i were to rebuild and upgrade the motor itself it would cost me more than 10k. My question is if i have a good running well cared for motor with about 100k on it would it be safe to upgrade the turbos without rebuilding the motor. I want 450-500 RWHP. Is the engine good for that? Can i replace the main and rod bearings when i take the motor out just by taking off the oil pan or does it require complete disassembly of the motor? The bottom end bearing seem like the weakest part of the bottome ends on these cars. Should i jsut go ahead and rebuild and upgrade the internals of the motor while i have it out. I really want to use some of the money to upgrade the suspension and brakes and maybe do a body kit. What do you guys think? Thanks Shawn
