I'm wanting to eventually do a turbo project on my ST. The only thing is, my engine has about 136k miles on it right now and I won't have the money to do this for quite awhile. I was wondering if you guys think it would be worth it to turbo my engine w/ this much mileage.
I'm also planning to rebuild beforehand. |

dude. mike. you know i'm down for a rebuild and 7AFTE. just lemme know when and where, and i'll be there to help you slap that thing together. also, we can talk to my cousin and see about porting/polishing for free, he'll just teach us how to do it on your motor.
 . and, if that's not an option, i have a friend that will do it for NO WHERE NEAR 700...-John- -------------------- AIM==Mynzeyes
