Yeah, not too mechanically inclined, nor do I have the facility or tools to do the work myself. Thanks man, will probably just concentrate on building up my 2.0L with turbo and other parts. Was just curious how involved it is.

I also did. He told me to bring my car in and he will fix it free of charge.

But from now on ER and EDR will be the only people touching my car.

Ok, HP #s are good, but how do I go about getting more TQ? I was thinking of going with a ported intake with a bigger throttle body and getting back to a 10.5 hotside. This should increase my HP as well as TQ, but I'd really like my HP and TQ #s to be about the same; can this be accomplished with the 2.0L or would I need to do something much more expensive such as a stroker kit? Any advise is appreciated.

I would go w/ a ported intake manifold. I wouldnt mess w/ the TB though IMHO. There is still some torque to be gained from the 9.8 I think though.

Wouldn't the 65mm throttle body add more HP/TQ with a ported intake?
