^ Good attitude! Every part replacement is an opportunity.

Who said autoX is supposed to be the cheap way to race...

Dave - I'm going to get the Spearco (assuming the good deals still exist), and will have to re-research who is doing the TGV + gaskets these days. Any suggestions?

Hate to say it but sometimes aftermarket parts are cheaper then OEM parts. Upgrade what you can.

^ Ok, nobody answers at 11:15AM.

If they didn't have the lowest price by $100, I'd give up and order somewhere else.

- Dave, while your description sounded great, I still consider it unproven versus the spearco. And I want to keep my stock TMIC for whenever I go back to stock...

I need to do that too. We should have a TGV delete party!! I think Grimmspeed supposedly does good work. APS ones are too blasted expensive. If I had an extra set of 07 TGV's i would do it myself.

I did not pull the trigger on the SZ49. Deal seemed too good to be true, which usually means it probably is. The price he was offering it for it should have sold a long time ago. I have a call into deadbolt to ask him about the original owner of the turbo, and to see if they would rebuild it for me free after purchasing through this fella.

Plus to do TGV deletes, EWG, injectors, turbo inlet, and other odds and ends it would just put me over the budget i want to spend on the car right now so I am going to just do TGv's, extrude honed manifolds, ewg, geta a retune and do the turbo after I move.

^ I'm up for that.

Grimmspeed is where I was looking as well. They also have the "big gasket," or phenolic spacer, or whatever they are calling it now.

My plan is to do the TMIC, TGV/d, and swap out the TXS high-flow cat for catless a week before TopSpeed comes. Just enough time to make sure the install went well, but not too long that I go nuts driving at part-throttle.
