By redoing, do you mean maintanence or are u building up the motor with stronger parts. Not sure if you already had built the motor or not, but I seem to think that you had, oh well just wondering. Hopefully when I turbo mine and run some pretty high boost I'll have high enough quality parts that I won't have to rebuild but maybe ever 6-8 years.

ouch i hate to breack your dreams but when your all said and done youll end up fixing things once a week and rebuilding it once a year. im just redoing some of the seals and retorqing some of the bolts with my kind of boost you have to do that from time to time even with the best parts

At 20 plus psi what kind of hp and torque numbers are you making at the wheels? Have you run the 1/4 mile yet? What are you running in the 1/4?
