    Will post up some more pics when i get a chance

    Was quite hard to get this job done while juggling long hours at work but got there in the end after five months & $6-7k.

    Used wiseco's, eagle rods, ARP head & main studs, ACL race bearings, full reco'd heads, cometic head gaskets, block decked, kevlar timing belt with new pulleys & tensioner, bottom end balance, AMS under & over drive pulleys, stock turbo's re-kitted with new seals & bearings, installed TransGo stage 2 shift kit in Auto.

    Certainly nothing over the top but good for reliability running around 12psi boost.

    Big thanks to forum member Ryzan for providing the heads, turbo's & auto, saved me a shitload of cash!!

    Will post up more pics when I get around to it.

    Got mine from Autobarn, good stuf as it's heat rated to 228 Degrees Celcius so it should last ok under the bonnet. Was $16.50 a can from memory.
