i'll be honest , i'm not really happy about it but if you don't laugh you'll go nuts.
a proper rebiuld would be about the same as a new sti 20.ltr short block anyways.
idealy i'd love to go sti long block and single turbo but waiting on a quote which i'm convinced already i won't like.theres a lot of wiring to it
and on top i need a replacement engine, tmic ,ecu,tune ,dump pipe, turbo etc etc.
i wanted to go sti long block and stay with the twins but my ecu won't run the AVCS.
as for short blocks i now know the sti 2.0 ltr is a lot stroger than the 2.5 which is more drivable .
either way i go i will end up needing a new ecu aswell as mine has ecutek on it and unless i make it for there tuning trip on aug 1st
i can't get a tune done at all as there is no support or resellers left in vic FFS HAHAHAHA
you see ,, if i don't laugh,,,,HAHA ,,,I"LL FUGGEN KILL SOME ONE ,,HAHA
at the end of the day if i can get my car back with a lot stronger bottom end and even just a bit more power i'd be happy.
i spent over 6 years and a little bit of cash pushing the twin turbo setup to it's limt,,,,well i found it hehe.
