you would be FOOLISH not to take all of it if it was 5k....the turbos alone worth the 5k. not to mention the built tranny and the aem with the custom harness

i was stoked when he said all of it for 3k i expected 8-10k and then kicking myself for spending 2.6 previously. a few concerns though every time i ask what all is included though thomas it seems to change, i STILL dont know if their is fluid in it, dunno the shape of the turbos or the motor and have YET to get any pics

still waiting on the christmas bonus to see my $

WAIT,WAIT,WAIT dont u own the bodyshop thomas? did you give yourself a christmas bonus?

IF i did get the swap ricky i would go to a actual BBK not just the LS "mini BBK" as i would believe even the LS's calipers wouldnt brake well enough for this.

i know the importance of increasing braking power with increasing horsepower. i learned that lesson along time ago with my honda del sol which luckily when the brakes failed didnt kill me or even maim the car....i went and upgraded my braking that same day

i told you every time i talked to him thomas something else wasn't included still the motor IS worth the 5k

no clue what happened to them, he didn't offer the info. i would still probably buy the manifolds, diff, axles, tranny,aem, wiring harness....or even the motor

GL and keep us informed
