Well lets open another stupid thread about building motor. I will have a shop installing my F.I. TT in 2 weeks and they suggested i build the motor as well. I only have 26,200 miles N/A but i have really beat the **** out of my car in those miles. I have read pretty much everything in this forum about the possible limits of the stock motor and what is needed and to keep in check to run properly with a twin turbo and bla bla bla. Here is were i want you guys opinion. They quote it me:
Labor include TT install and build engine
K1 Connecting Rods
Wiseco Pistons
OEM Engine Gasket Kit
OEM Rod Bearings
OEM Cyl Head Bolts
Plus tuning and a few other things done to the motor
Everything above for $6,900. They also quote it me $3,200 just for TT install and tunning if i want to go that route. For now i am just looking for around 475-500whp and at those power levels building is not necessary but damn the prices have got me thinking plus having peace of mind is not that bad either. What do you guys think?
