Was thinking about going Stainless Steel Valve Titaniun retainers Basicly the kit from FM
Just need to keep the funding going \"passes the hat around and even the hat doesn't come back\" :(
Nar was going to stay with the 9.4 ( or whatever is STD)
My next thing is to upgrade Turbo to a gt28-60rs and get rid of this tiny turbo
