^ So far stock rods have been recommended by many. If I can fit it in the budget, Pauter Rods will be my pick. JE pistons

So that's a GT turbo with anti-surge and you'll need a smaller alternator? I'm curious as to why you went with the anti-surge, is it necessary?

Necessary, NO.. but it does have its advantages. I really just wanted to go all out on the turbo. I have 2 hotsides I am going to try on this project, .82 and 1.06

Tim at SFR, it is very nicely done
He also custom made the v-band flange for my 44mm tial !
