STH Multi-Step Build Plan/Thread

Just go slow if you are hell bent to do it. Keep your power goals low. Since you don't want to work on the car much or have the space too the only TT kit I would recommend is a Fast Intentions TT kit. The maintenance on that kit is very minimal. Boosted Performance is a maintenance nightmare. Once you get up and running then you can make a decision if you want to go further at that time.

"maintenance nightmare" is a bit strong; it's more like a "maintenance uncomfortable dream", think being in class in your underwear.

Talk to Solidus. That is where I am getting my opinion from. I haven't had to touch my car once except for oil changes and Air filter cleaning and that is normal maintenance. The headgasket letting go has nothing to do with the FI TT kit. I just didn't build enough motor. If I have to touch the TT kit once, I will be bitching. That is why I bought what I did.

I want to learn to work on the car over time. I'm going to take some mechanics classes as well. And do some online courses. I have plenty of time to complete this project. I want to do everything "right" even if that means taking 5x as long as spending 3x the money. That's why I said in my first post don't expect any fast moving progress. I'm only really considering the FI turbo kit. And I won't be going that direction without a built engine. That's why I want to try a SOHO supercharger kit first, probably around 7-9 PSI of boost only. I may stop there, i dunno yet, might be too much or enough power for me. I doubt I will stay there forever tho, I need to have a project going constantly.
