Maybe its just my difference in opinion in order of modification, metaphorically it seems like the stock turbo is held on by a thread. Just put a 35R on it with the built motor and run mid 9's all day.

As always I wish you nothing but good luck Mike.
thanks for the luck and also i know you think and well maybe most think im crazy for what im doing, but if you really think about it there is still a lot of things to do to make my et go down. such as more weight and stiffen up car. will deff cut those times down. try and make more power also will help. but for example look at say a mustang you have 500hp with every thing else stock. goes what maybe mid 11s, now you have a 500hp mustang with full works like lighten, coil overs, this and that stiffin up cases and what not. and it goes low 10s maybe 9s. so in all and all i just want to see how much i can go with stock turbo and i will not stop in till im happy with what i did. and also anything i do and later on when i go to a diff turbo, the car will already be setup for it.

I don't think you're crazy. I just wouldn't do that myself to my car IF it were still a street car (i.e. Doing more than just going out to race/street race). We're both trying for the same goal, Im just not willing to gut out my street car because I like to be able to take people to the track with me, go on road trips, drive everyday, etc. Leave the gutting for my race car .

After 08 that bish better have a big o' turbo !

LOL funny that you say that, i will tell you a little bit of the history of me and my car, i got it brand new and then about 3months of owning it i gutted it. and i driving it like that ever since, so to me i like it gutted. ya maybe not the nices for the ladys but thats why i have another car for that. LOL called the parents car. on other note i have not had my car for about almost a year now so if i got throw a year like that i think i can pretty much say lets go ball all out now LOL. and believe me i still take the car on road trips and its a way fun road trip car. good gas millages and also lots and lots of room for bags and what not lol.

That is simply ridiculous, I have never seen a block that destroyed.

It looks like some one took a jack hammer and just sat there hammering away on the block, lol.

WOW! good luck with the new build. I'm sure you've already thought of this but a carbon fiber driveshaft couldn't hurt either. I like the fact that you want to stick with the stock turbo.

Remember to replace the oil cooler. It would be a shame to build a new motor only to destroy it because a piece of metal was hiding in there and found it's way into yout new engine. I have seen it more than once.
