I generally take the rest of the car along as well but to each their own I guess.

The swap, as cool as it could be, is sort of cheating.

Yes you have a point about cheating, but to do a proper turbo build with all the fixings and to do it right your in swap territory money wise, which to me is a slam dunk as far as reliability. A buddy of mine who will have a build thread very soon is going to see how cheaply a swap is going to be, all he is waiting for is Vorshlag to sell him a stage 0 kit. So far he is off to a very good start and has already sold hjs FA20 with only 9k miles and got a swinging deal on a Vortec 5.3 built $800.00 and a T56 for $100.00, dont know how he swung that for the tranny but he did and its not a POS but a low mileage unit....so far he is a net gain on the swap,.....couple that with the new MRS Electronics gateway for can-bus instead of a standalone im extremely curious how cheap his swap is going to be......Im guessing under 10k because of the low mileage sale of the FA20. Its going to depend on what Vorshlag charges for the stage 0 kit.

I think we need to let Dustin have his thread back now.
Sorry Dustin that was an accidental derailment. Look forward to following your new journey.

It was a good derailment. Adding axles to the parts list as I had my driver side one start clicking super loud all of a sudden. Looks like Driveshaft Shop or Dealer is the only option for non-used axles. Or I roll the dice with a used one from eBay.

You can't go wrong with drive shaft shop, like seriously you shouldn't consider eBay over these unless your eBay item is coming from a 500 HP car at half the price

I am going to look into the axles Spencer Fabrications is working on. Rated for 700hp and no question asked rebuilding upon failure. Currently requires sending in the stock axles to be rebuilt.

example a 200 hp rally car can break a 500 hp driveshaft from the shear abuse rally puts on the car (if the driveshaft being the weakest link)
