Skip all the rebuilding bs if your goal is 350rwhp, the stock engine can handle way more than that. I bet if you look at the big flashing banner on the forum mainpage you'll see another plug and play MS option is in the works  |

yeah that was a hint to get it going lol. how much do you plan on selling it for cause i want it. if i can get the majority of my parts threw you that would be great. the motor rebuild is mainly cause the car has 130k on it and it has leaks and such EVERYWHERES

We aren't releasing a final price yet but it will be priced competitively. There is another thread about it.
We went 10's with a 320k engine out of the junkyard, don't think 130k is an issue in itself that's low mileage for a 2.3T. Besides, leaking oil is a result of a crap PCV system and bad gaskets on the valve cover, oil pan, and/or front and rear main seals. As long as the engine has good compression it doesn't need a rebuild.

Where is what thread? The 320k setup is the original "Project Bolt-On" which has it's own page on our website.
