Sell the smim, and buy an FP manifold. A SMIM will prob do more hurt than good with that small of a turbo. Depending on the SMIM (which is JMF if I'm not mistaken), you prob will still have money leftover for your build.

Ill take your advice, I just love the look of the SMIM vs a stock intake manifold. Ill take some pics and put it up for sale. Thanks

I think I still have matching rear floor mats for this also. If I find them, you can have them.

So with the motor out of the car, I decided to clean up the stock motor a little bit.
Freshly painted block and oil pan
Balance shafts eliminated
New front case gasket, oil pan gasket, front and rear crank seals.

Next thing is a new water pump, head gasket and head studs. As funds become available I'll get the clutch, injectors, wideband and eventually Ecmlink V3

New water pump, OEM composite head gasket, ARP head studs, 100 miles on the timing belt and components so I reused them. Painted the valve cover black. All new turbo gaskets, intake/exhaust gaskets.

Next, I buy the clutch so I can bolt this baby on the motor and drop them in the car :nod:

Nice!
