    7MGTE Rebuild Cost

    What these lists also don't take into account: Clutch - if the motor is out, do you really want to leave that old clutch on? or replace it while everything is apart? Would suck to do all that work and then have it slip as soon as you turn the boost up. transmission - again, the hard work is...

    Anyone have a really PORTED stock manifold

    Next upgrade: efans or 3" Elbow?
