I'm amazed no one has commented on this. I really thought that the idea of having an unlimited buget for your evo would get people going.

If money was no object....

I would have 5 evos, one that I would build EVERYTHING myself just to learn. With learning parts break... unlimited budget = win

1 built by Buschur
1 built by STM
1 built by AMS
1 built by MAP


And I would have them use the same turbos but the setups are up to them, I'd prefer a Front Facing setup from at least one of them.

Once done, dyno all, race all. See which is best, just for giggles

STM. After reading about all their builds and the cars they pump out I would send it to them and say I want XXX power, make it happen and make it look as ridiculously amazing as the white RS and the Ricer, hahaha

As an after thought I would like to edit in that I would have as much ToxicFab stuff as I can get too! His welds and work are just incredible, a thing of pure beauty

If budget was no option and all I cared about was my car it would be STM, English Racing or CBRD. Wherever I decided to move to since it sucks having someone build the motor that is not close.

The same person I used when money was an object. PRS hands down. Machine shop in house no chance for mistakes and if there is any no fingers to point. Wish I would have done this the first time around.

With an unlimited budget I'd build it myself, seeing as I'd have the extra cash for trial and error.

I just did my engine build and went with a completely decked out Buschur 2.3rpm and would go with them again and again
Service is absolutely amazing, no bs either... they tell you how it is and what you need and dont!! They even tell you whats not worth spending the money on
David builds all the motors himself which means alot less error and its built by a legend
I simply cant say enough about David Buschur and his shop!!!!

Motor isnt running just yet but I know it will be more than perfect

I would build my own motor...again. Why? Because it's fun and after buying a nightmare of a "built" short block from a certain reputable shop from New York that seized on its first start up from thrust washers being installed backwards and later finding no balancing or clearances were measured, I'll actually save myself a good amount of cash to making sure it would be done right....again.
