Well after a little more than a year of boosting my motor is finally seeing the effects of turbo. Stock internals boosting 11 PSI. Anyways i have an internal oil leak (piston rings and valves). This is really frustrating!! So i have 2 options now. 1.) get a short block, blueprinted balanced, port and polished, pistons,..... everything i need to boost 14lbs out of an ST block. or 2.) complete 3s-gte swap.
ive wanted a 3sgte for forever now so im leaning towards taht. the only reason y i would consider the new custom short block is because i can still drive my car while they are assembling the new block. but with the 3sgte my car would be in the shop for quite awhile.... |

stick with the 7a turbo set up... hate to see a extraordinary project such as the 7afTe go to waste..... KEEP THE FAITH!
from a fellow st owner.. much love
