Hey guys, I think I'm at a stopping point for the time being due to funding. I have full bolt-ons, cams, injectors and tune. Next would be turbo and build bottom end, however I'm kind of stuck between which to do first. My thoughts are if I go bigger turbo, I wanna run a FP Red, then I won't be able to maximize results in fear of blowing stock bottom end. I want to build the block to a 2.2L but isn't that kinda pointless on a stock turbo? I'm at 72k miles now and my original plan was to stroke it when I got near 100k as it would be pretty much a new engine w/ 0 miles allowing me to enjoy the car for many more years to come. If I were to get a turbo first can I get tuned to keep the tq at less than 400wtq to be safe until I save up for the stroker kit? I'm more of a better safe than sorry guy so I'm leaning towards the built motor first…yes I know the engine can handle more wtq but my luck I'd romp on it 2 or 3 times then BOOM! Thoughts???

 

Learn from my mistakes.

Build first and be safe. I added the red and kept tq conservative and it still vented

 

I have many friends that run reds on there x with stock block over 2 years they've Been daily driving running 450wheel as long as you get tuned properly you shouldn't have problems. Just don't bag the car all the time
