All the reputable builders are looking for ways to improve the VQ motor so if could be done, one of them would have already have tried, and/or done it

Let him find out the hard way.

He was trolling. He acts just like a couple of others that have joined the last year or so demanding data. I don't give out data for free. Those days are over. If he thinks he is bothering me. Noop, not happening. I don't care what he does .

It's easy to make threads bigger, it's making them smaller thats rough. That bolt pattern tho.. I can't think of a way around that.

I don't give out information anymore. If you want information, you have to pay for it. So, Troll ala la-long on out of here. You still didn't answer my question.

Is that your plan when you blow up your current Z, which you bought to replace the one you wrecked?

Personally, I'm not a fan of the "new" chassis but if I were you I'd put the 60k into the mt MK5 instead if you're looking hard at a new car. It'll have more aftermarket support and you won't be bound to proprietary turbos and water intercoolers. Part of the fun of owning a turbo car is more than just the power but that's just my 2 cents

Wish this was an option 2 years ago when I started my build. Oh well.. it is what it is...

I know this is an old thread and the op already figured out what he wanted to do but i was in the exact same situation.

I decided to build car. I figured... I've already got some money into it.. its paid off. its been reliable... i can save some cash for the turbo kit and be done.. and have no payment... or I can get a brand new payment, brand new full coverage insurance, etc etc etc.. and the car still be stock..... you'd still have to put money into it to make it "not" stock.. so thats why I chose the direction I went.

I went with the soho stage 2.5 turbo kit... with all the bells and whistles. Not mad at my decision.
