What turbo set-up are you going to use? You shouldn't need to rebuild the engine to prepare it for a turbo. And unless you're going to really be boosting the hell out of it, the stock internals should be OK.
How much experience do you have with rebuilding engines?
It would seem to me that if you were capable to undertake the task yourself, you wouldn't be asking what parts you need to do it.Originally posted by Grueliusand i do not know what bugg brakes are.

why not swap? for the price of rebuild and turbo you'll be cheaper and likely less technical skills required.

55k after rebuild, pulls 11.5psi all day with ms1. LOL at the boat anchor comment, I prefer my m42 car over any of my m20 ones (preboost included).
Is the engine having issues and that's why you want to rebuild? At most I would rebuild just the head and go ahead and do studs."A good memory for quotes combined with a poor memory for attribution can lead to a false sense of originality."
