Okay so I went with another route and ended up still getting a built block, but with 9.5:1 1400hd Wiseco pistons with Crower Billet rods.

I also bought a new turbo setup finally. Ported 20g tdo5, ported SBR manifold with open dump TiaL wastegate. I wanted a quick spooling setup just for street fun, so the tdo5 housing along with the 9.5:1 compression should spool real quick.

I should have this all put in within the next two weeks, I have to get the head rebuilt too because a few valves hit the pistons. Going to use evo8 springs/retainers while it's opened up. Then dyno tune, hoping to make at least 450whp

Engine is in! Deleted the cruise control while it was out. Need to relocate that battery to the trunk eventually and clean up those wires.. Any other suggestions to clean up the bay?

Picked up some Enkei EV5's too. Weighs 41lbs with the tire (Tire weighs 24lbs), going to weigh the stock wheels and see how much lighter that is.
