If you're going turbo, follow Zdyne's philosophy: Invest in the turbo and extras (intercooler, ECU, etc.) that won't go if the block goes. That way if you blow the motor, you're only out the cost of a shortblock, not the cost of the internals. So I say nay to the head and yay to putting the money into the turbo setup.

Hell yeah they are! I've talked on the phone a few times with Bill, he's fucking cool and he knows his shit, and he doesn't come off as snotty or rude like most of the time when you're speaking to someone as the customer, ya know? Don't take my word for it, but they should be coming out with their datalogging software very soon.

Phan: have you talked with your friend any more about possibly buying a Gold? Curious.

Throw the money in the turbo setup. You're not going to make huge power on a D, but at least you'll have the setup for another/better motor. You'll just have to buy a new manifold.

at Don. hahaha.

If your gonna go D, go D right, built it to handle boost.
