Update: Got to work on her for about 1-2 hours this morning before having to head back to jmu.
Pulled off the exhaust manifold, turbo, o2 housing, external wastegate, downpipe, power steering pump, alternator, and radiator. Pretty much she is ready to pull the head when I Come back friday to work on her.
So far im leaning towards a good 2.0 build, some simple wiseco pistons and eagle rods. Itll be good to around 700 so ill run out of turbo before running out of horsepower room. If my bank account is feeling it, I may go with the lightest internals I can find and do a crazy ass head on her so I Can just rev her out to 9 grand, although my turbo will probably fall off at about 8500-8750, plus itll let me stay in one gear as long as possible. We will see, its all up in the air and isnt definite until I start buying some parts!
