Guys, I got that job I mentioned a while back. No firm start date but it's less than 3 months. On top of that I learned I'm getting a nice inheritance check but those can take a year so I'm not relying on that.

I get enough of a driving allowance to buy a new car to commute in, pay for all expenses and still come out on top. The TL will no longer be my daily driver.

I'm going to do this the right way with better rods and forged 9:1 JEs. We'll probably have to talk about turbo, fuel pump, injector, and wastegate size because I plan on breaking 600whp. I'm doing what I'm used to, high boost.

As the auto breaks I'll upgrade each weak link.....hopefully.

I know promises don't mean much but it's safe to say by the end of this year or very beginning of next I'll be putting a deposit down.

To keep things equal, the GN is a couple months away from a 300rwhp upgrade finally. My first StageII 4.5L monster.

Thinking of getting a 2 yr old VW diesel wagon. I get a flat rate so anything I can save in gas goes into my pocket.

Yeah but it's going to take me 10 years and $100,000 to overcome the auto trans issues.

youd end up doing a 6mt swap before that man, for at least 9 years and $95,000 less lol and have it hold up, fused with semi-slick street rubber

He said he's looking for a tune and not the kit. It's $5799.
