I talk to Vuk (AMS) a lot and have bought quite a few parts from him. I have everything set to hand over to him and get it started, but I feel I can shed $1000 if I find a place myself. Vuk says $3G for what I’m looking at. I’ve sourced out all the parts totalling in $1000 and I figure labour won’t be more than a $1000 as well. Vuk actually sends it out to an outside rebuilder, so he is really just a middle man with a markup. Of course, with years of knowledge to back up the work done to the motor.
I can’t wait till I get it on the road with the new build. I have newly purchased turbos (bigger than the ones I’m selling in the FS thread), injectors, tunable ECU, dual MAF, bigger Rad, Bigger Intercoolers and a few secret weapons that people with similar builds will constantly try to figure out why they can’t touch me in performance.
