Just got my STS kit in the mail. I’m waiting to get the block back from the machine shop. It’s been a big guessing game on the cam and components. Don’t forget to share. I’ll try to post some pics as I get further along.

What Manifolds did you use?
Did you have to loose the A/C?

Theyre advance adapters slick fit headers that I got from summit racing for @ $290.

As for the A/C, yeah, I ditched it. I never used it so it was a none issue for me.

That turbo is freakishly huge. I like!

That is going to make it really hard to change the Optispark when it flys apart from the RPM you'll be turning but it looks ohh so worth it.

As if working on anything on these cars is easy! But, I dont think it will be to bad. I dont mind wrenching too much. I just want to drive the darn thing already. Its been way to long!

I should have some more progress pics hopefully today. We will be working on the downpipe. So keep an eye out.
