The days of $6200 Greddy kits whored out on ebay and forums will be over as of June 1st.
Did not even open the boxes to inventory, we were busy doing some upgrades on Big R0mey's car.

i think Julian has some good packages on build blocks of full long blocks for you if you wish to take it a step further.
But on one condition.......... you must get rid of the ShlTSV plenum

Would it be possible to use a smaller FMIC so the crash bar doesn't have to be cut? Possibly using the Greddy FMIC instead? This kit is really looking like a very nice single turbo setup the more i research and hear about these turbo's on other cars..
