I thought all main caps have the mounting holes for mbsp already in them, regardless of if it was fitted or not?

You've gotta do this mod too, aidan. Looks pretty easy, with a welder.

I don't want to do r&d on main caps. The cost of failure is too high lol.

I think I'm gonna have Lars make me a MKturbo setup to run on the stock block for a bit. I'm gonna save the baller manifold for a built bottom end.

Do you need any porting work done on your head / throttle body? I can bring tools if you're ready for it.
