So I wasn't going make a build thread. I changed my mind and figured I would.
Yes you are reading it right, 2.2 + Stock turbo lol. I have been up and down with this car. I bought it brand new new May 2008, drove it till my deployment in Feb. 2009. The car tossed a rod out of the block in Texas while driving the car from CA to WI, crappy. I came back from my deployment bought a new block, replaced the pistons/rods. I put it all back together and failed to check my head/valves. Started the car ran great, started to break it in to take to AMS to get a tune. Bang piston hit valve trashed my head destroyed my piston. All I could do was laugh, my wife (GF at the time) was pissed. No big deal. The car sat in my parents garage in WI while I worked in CA. Then, I decided to get married. So all the money that was going to be used on the car got used for my wedding (Should of just did a court house wedding!). So the car sat even longer. I deployed again in 2010 and finally caught up to get the motor fixed. My mindset on this build was, if its not broke don't fix it. I wasn't going to dig myself in a huge hole for my car. So if you wonder why I'm still on a stuck turbo, well it wasn't broken. No I have no desire to "max out" my stock turbo. Whatever I get I get.
This car maybe will get driven 2-3 times a week, if that so its not exactly my DD. I have a RA/SB for that.
