Long story short im hooking up with a buddy on the site and making a deal.... no details yet until it's all confirmed, but what are the major issues with boosting and what should be replaced on the car to be safe if im going to be running 8-10 lbs on a stock engine. Let's assume145k miles on it..... why? Because I don't want to swap...

well the kit is 100% taken care of by someone i would trust handling any one of my cars based on their experience.
long story short , i'm not giving up any details on the kit as i want it to be a surprise when it happens, and i'm going to post the build, piece by piece online with alot of pictures and results. but in the mean time, until it happens. my main concerns are what to look for as to how to tell what i should check out on the engine until i finally decide to build. so far i've decided to change all the gaskets, i suppose i'll check and change bearings if needed just to be safe as i feel the rods/pistons should still be in good condition, and if not i'll find out pretty fast haha. but all in all, everything should go pretty smoothly. anyone who has boosted the 5s and made it into a monster of a 5s-fte what problems or issues and snags did you run into? -------------------- NOVAKx17
