If you can engine swap, turbo, and replace your internals, props to you. That concludes you know more then me on engine work. You deserve some bragging rights, but that doesnt speak for the 80% of us other users on HAN who have DAILY DRIVERS that dont want to mess with internals ( or at least do it ourselves), because WE ACTUALLY PAID FOR OUR CAR AND ALL THE SH&* WE PUT IN IT and understand the value and importance and risks of f%cking it up. We cant just blow the engine or mess something up, go to daddy and have him buy us another car, Welcome to the real world 17 year old Jonny.
