FARGO,

Used to be into DSM's nearly 11 years ago when I found a low mileage 1g Talon TSI AWD. Car had sat for years because the owner never realized he had the timing reversed. I got it back on it's feet drove it for a year and started planning my build when I came across one of my many dream cars, an FC RX7(sadly non-turbo).
Now nearly 10 years and a dead na 13b later I was going to build it as a Turbo II and purchased most of the conversion parts, only to realize it's nearly 6k just for a stock 13b. Meanwhile the 4G6X will literally bolt into the car with just a different bellhousing and custom engine mounts... yet it's a rare swap that's even rarer to be finished(I've literally only found a single finished FC build with a 4G63 and the guy isn't active anymore).
I'm still planning things out, but the car is primarily being built to be a time attack/autocross/track day car with occasional weekend driving/car shows, goal is somewhere around 350hp
Things I need to know are:

Things I need to know are:
- What shops are still around that build 4G6X's in the US? (Never built an engine and would rather a shop did)
- What's the best way to route the coolant inlet and outlet for a RWD swap?
- Is there anything other than the coolant inlet/outlet that I'm forgetting which might make things a nightmare?
