My goal as it stand at the moment, will be buying a new shortblock, sending off my old heads to be machined and upgraded with titanium.
Finding a tried and true shop/ kit for a t4 sized turbo, getting an exhaust made or bought from a reputable source that supports an ewg (would love suggestions), upgrading the fuel system and seeing where that gets me.
I started with the idea of 10k as a budget, but I'm also hoping that I can find space in there to get some larger brakes, but probably not. I figure getting the motor as close to a reliable 400 is a decent starting point.
If the world were more perfect the toyota would've fit the bill well, and with some serious man hours aside leave plenty of space in the budget to get the brakes/suspension up to a higher standard.
Again, I geniunely appreciate all the feedback, and begrudgingly accept that swapping is more nightmare than I'm prepared for.
