Message	again I have been more of a reader here and I am finally in process of getting the swap complete. To those of you that are building your motor and or doing a swap or thinking of doing one this site RULES. I read and read and thought I was doing things correctly...until I actually met my mechanic. I purchased the turbos GT675's and figured I would bolt them on and get 500hp well little did I realize that there was more to this then adding turbos....cams upgrades headwork etc...I bought the car three years ago and parked it bought the JDM motor a year ago and it sat I bought the turbo's and they are in the original boxes I am ready to begin the process since I now have the financial means to complete this project and have met TIMZ and this is priceless....I look forward to having him work on my swap. If you are in doubt BE SURE to check with someone who knows before you empty your pocket book. Thanks for all who have given me the ambition and motivation to doing this project Ilook forward to the day when I can actually drive this car to some of the meets. To TIMZ take your time buddy I have waited for 4yrs for this to come to life.
