Whats the jump from BBK full to BBK -B? In whp? 30 or more? I'm always a fan of upgrading the turbo. I went from stock to FP Red and it's been the greatest thing I've done. Chances are if you upgrade the turbo...a few months after that you'll probably end up doing the mani/tb or something else to give you a few extra.

Do the turbo. =)

very true! im skeptical on the intake manifold too because i heard its a serious biatch. ive swapped the turbo out many time so i can do that in a jiffy. the bbk-b flows i think 58-60 and the bbk full is it 50-52...should be a good 20whp or so

I too have done all my engine work (with the exception of the cams and intake mani) and I've got the turbo swap down to a few hours for the entire swap. The intake mani/tb swap took about the same time as a turbo swap. A few hours and you're good to go. In the end it's your choice bud. I'll say this too...if you choose the BBK-B route then you can do the mani/tb combo at a later time and it will most probably net a few more whp because the flow is better on the new upgraded turbo. Good luck.
