I remember reading over that site quite a while back. Just guesstimating at the time table, he was probably on the bleeding edge of 2.3T modding with the Holset and then again on playing with the Folvo idea.

I saw that a few years ago, this also changed me to swapping a 2.3T in for cheap. Now that I've done it my goal is 12's for $1000

i saw this few years back it should be like a sticky on here if u ask me. this is what the word hot rodding means to me...making do with whats available for the lowest price. any fool can spend money and pay some monkey to build him a fast car. this is the shyt here glad to see someone else find it. i preffer the low end torque of a 5.0 and they are cheaper and easier to find so i have yet to do this but someday, plus i love the sound of my 5.0 with o/r h pipe and flows, but yeah either way this is bad azz stuff and very realistic except where i live a 2.3t motor is expensive in usable form
