If I was in this situation, I'd call Full Blown, order one of their short blocks and have them re-install, tune and check everything over. That way it is correct, safe and done right.

Even if you like the local shop and mechanic why screw with the possibility again? If he hasn't rebuilt a boxer engine then why let (and pay) him learn on yours? You already will have to buy a short block, reinstall the turbo kit correctly and tune it still. Why risk fucking it up a second time?

It will be costing you a pretty penny no matter which route you take, however you should be golden with fullblown doing the work AND you will have the benefit of more/safer power with their low compression engine so you win there.

Either way wish you luck.

Intersting, most shops around here get pissy when you mention you DIY and imediatly fault you for anything related or not.
