Well hello there. Getting rid of it already, huh? Keep your eyes open here. There's always setups popping up for sale or you may find a manifold and downpipe that flows better to work with that turbo.

My car now sits on jack stands in my garage. With no radiator, ac unit, powersteering system and no ecu. This is a scary site indeed. But I have 1 question. Is it worth it to replace the head gasket before a turbo build? If so I'll buy the fm gasket package and rip the head off and clean the valves and lifters. Also at that time would it be easier to do a clutch and flywheel? I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place with this one. Any help greatly appreciated even if it is a sucker punch at this point anything will help.

All this depending on weather or not it's in your budget, of course.
