Default LS worth it?

Full interals were rebuilt with JE Pistons, Crower Rods, Ferra Valves, P&P, bored throttle body and intake manifold. More stuff just can't remember what. Pretty much everything was done. Comp. is 8:5.1. Ready for turbo! No tranny, flywheel, clutch, axels, ecu. Wants $2500. Worth it?

Drag 3 kit. Just rebuilt turbo. All guages inluded and their Apexi gauges. Exhaust temp gauge is hooked up to exhuast manifold. Wants $2000. Worth it?

Lap top computer w/ Windows system and all accessories to run electromotive. Wants $700. Worth it?

Or $5000 for all?

Engine: yes
Turbo kit: No

I would check the compression on that motor. Is it from the same seller? If so, how did he blow his turbo, but not his motor? Seriously check into that. I wouldn't trust a rebuilt turbo, unless I send it off myself to a reputable turbo rebuilder. If the motor checks out good, then it's a steal!

All from the same seller. Turbo was rebuilt becasue bearings were loose. It was rebuilt by Turbotectnics in Tacoma, WA. All parts have no more than 5000 miles on them. Plus the motor comes w/ another head.

Sounds good. Just get a copy of the rebuild reciept in case something "happens", and you'll be good to go. Good luck.
