#60599, "Full turbo exhaust or built bottom end?"


          

I'm wondering which you think I should do first. When I say full exhaust I mean getting the downpipe back so I figure close to $900-$1200 right? I want to do it all at once. If I wait another few months I could just get a built motor, and wait on the exhaust (I always have my credit card to fall back on if my motor blows). Which would you do first?

I would build the motor first. The stock DP is a little constrictive but it will serve you well until you get more boost. Build your bottom end because it will blow eventualy if you are pushing it hard. You dont want to have to build your motor out of necessity trust me that sucks.

Haha, I would def. go with a block... I hope you have an EGT gauge if you plan on boosting over 8 psi because your EGTs will go up high and fast
