If your looking for 300whp just do a basic bottom end rebuild or buy a gen2-3 3SGTE + boltons. But considering you have all turbo parts, I'd recommend forged 5SFTE.

Depends if you want to stay with 5SFTE or go 3SGTE, I chose 5SFTE. How much power are you looking at making? If your looking for 300whp just do a basic bottom end rebuild or buy a gen2-3 3SGTE + boltons. But considering you have all turbo parts, I'd recommend forged 5SFTE. X2 go for 5sFTE, theres so many 3s around... + im gonna be doing 5sfte SOMEtime down the track hopefully sooooo... more documentation for me  or possibly 5sgte

Don't buy Rotas. Good luck with the engine though, hope you get that figured out soon. Downtime sucks.

I like the the lip you have on but the bumper you are considering looks awesome, it all depends like they say that the fitment is crazy bad. For the wheels I really like the oem you have, always liked five star wheels. Also like the pontiac grand am GT emblem you put in the back of the car.
