So, why did you rule out turboing the thing? For the $15K you plan on spending you could have one fast turbo.

Well with so many people doing the turbo swaps lately and the reliability issues of the turbo i decided just to build up a reliable/fast na. And i decided id rather just buy a turboII or fd so i have the best of both worlds. :smirk:

I heard the Brembo rotors warp easily, keep the pads, just try "endless" rotors!
