Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

COSMO, gonna use your thread since I don't feel like opening up a new one. I've not caught up much. Are you still sticking to the GT28RS turbos? I'm thinking

Are you still sticking to the GT28RS turbos? I'm thinking in the future if I were to build up my motor I'd like to switch out the turbos for the GTX variety. Of course, that'll require a new manifold to the turbo. I rather not dump another $8-10k on a turbo kit and re-use and retrofit stuff. I'm pretty sure the existing manifolds would be useless by the time I decide to drop the motor and get new turbos. What do you think?

Jon @ Z1 suggested the same thing when I do built block. With the GTX swap they made 609whp @ 9 PSI with the stage II piping, GTX swap.
