to those of you who did your own 3sgte swaps Options

[brianforster]

what were your car experiences when taking on the project..

lets say 1 is you didnt even change your own oil, 5 is being able to change your timing belt and 10 is doctor tweak (<3)

what would you rate yourself? how long did it take? what was the most frustrating part? (besides wiring, because my harness is already complete)

PS. doc if you read this, i still wann have the swap done by you, because of your crudentials, i trust you, and i know everything would be done right.. but my friends have some good points and are really trying to make me do this myself!

thanks all

brian, to build a effective FMIC, if you buy high quality stuff will cost you very close to as much as a used 205 setup if you look around long enough.
a GOOD FMIC will run around 250+
cheap side aluminized piping 100+ aluminum/stainless 250+
couplers and clamps ~200
BOV and flange..
205 setup will run you in the 600$ range depending on who you get the parts from.
