welcome. sounds like you have alot planned for this build. It'd be a good idea to spend a few weeks or even months on here reading through all the stickies, and even some project threads like presure2's. Is your car still running good? or are u just getting an engine on the side to build? if you're set on a 5s turbo that's fine, but like noberto said, there's other options that may be cheaper if money is an issue and provide easier gains.
