You did get me thinking that breaking this into two jobs would be less painful.

1) exhaust manifold/turbo/test pipe/throttle body/mild tune
2) rods/pistons/cams/springs/more aggressive tune

I shot Shane an email to get some feedback. The first one is basically a one-day job. The second one is probably 2-3 days.
If it was me and I was paying someone to do the work, I would probaly try to get all of these done at the same time. To do the motor work, you will need the whole trubo setup off at the same time anyhow and it will save on having the car tuned again. Just my opionion though...

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.
