Oh man, apparently my forum notifications are broken.

Swap shouldn't be terrible, I've got 03 harness, ecu, vsv's. I'll keep this updated for sure.

Power Mods: Malone tune, PD 150 turbo inlet pipe, PD150 intake manifold Bosio injector nozzles.

Other motor mods: bypass oil filter, pre-plumbed for pre-post lube oil pump (would make me ok with turning motor off more frequently) larger oil-water heat exchanger for faster oil warm up (and more max oil cooling for towing), lots of insulation on valve cover, oil pan, some parts of block, and on the turbo manifold, oil level sensor (factory in many countries), FIS control for lots of data available on factory (imported) cluster, EGT sensor pre-turbo, new timing belt and other bits, new bearings, new thrust washers (only part that shows wear), all new factory stretch bolts, oh and a 6 speed transmission.

I kept the accident a secret because I spent 5 months arguing with insurance which failed miserably at repairing it (let's just say the right rear wheel became detached from the car AFTER it was repaired), and then undervalued it so dramatically that I couldn't have purchased a base model gasoline car in running condition. In hind sight, I made minimum wage dealing with insurance, gave my car away for free, and wished I had just had liability and just delt with it myself. All that despite the fact that I had an accurate description of the truck that hit me, photographs, a license plate #, parts of my car dangling from his truck, and this was the third time he had been reported as committing a hit and run so far last year.

If you get in a wreck where I live and it is your fault I would highly recommend leaving the scene, worst case you admit it and will have to pay a $200 fine in addition to regular accident stuff. If you don't admit, you need video, and 3 un-related witnesses to prosecute the hit and run offender, and then just $200.
