Going Forged

[orng1]

I have almost 60k and I have been boosting above 8psi since I got the car. Ok the day after LOL. The only things I have broken are the LSD, motor mounts and I had the clutch start to slip at higher RPM. These cars are so different from one another that you never know when or if something will go wrong.

Thats my concern, if i modify it: exhaust, FMIC, CAI , Forge BPV and Split second AFC, will it blow the darn thing apart or not?

I will stay stock boost until warranty expires.. i am currently at 95000 km with a 160000km extended warranty on car. I drive with my head, not just the foot to the floor all the time!

I am planning on going forged internals in 2 years.

Yeah, I'm gonna take the forged plunge...i'm glad I got that info about the crankshaft (that will be balanced too). I'm gonna try to keep boost around 9psi...but just in case 10-12 starts callin' I want to have the right parts in place already.

First new addition bought today.

A buddy of mine blew up an ebay special To4E. He pulled it all apart and rebuilt it with all Garrett internals. Ebay special cold side snail with Garrett internals and Garrett hot side snail for $150.

If my finances go well, I should have the motor ready to purchase in late October to early November. The car will be running by Christmas.

If I didn't want to finish mowing my lawn, I would put pics of the turbo up, but those will wait a few hours.
