As long as it's tune correctly, you'll be just fine.

I'm sure that rev-hard kit will compliment it nicely, though

 

lol...the engine build is nice but the turbo setup is kinda crappy in comparison.....

 

Yeah i know i bought the drag kit because the price was decent and it had almost everything i needed. I blew the motor and then decided to build it so i shouldnt have a problem. I wanted to make sure i used good parts so i wouldnt have to rebuild anytime soon. Many people are telling me that 85mm is just to big even if its sleeved. It has me worried now. I was curious if more people had any opinions on this. Is it that i might have a problem, will have a problem just not sure when or that if everything was done correctly by the shop that did the work i shouldnt have a problem. And i know you said that my turbo and parts from the drag kit are not that great what would you change in that aspect and what would you change it to. I am happy with the hp now i think 321 whp is decent for a daily driver

me, personally, i would change the turbo manifold and the downpipe.

 

if he dosnt have any hardcore plans for the car, the engine is overbuilt which is fine, he can still make mid 300's on that setup, which is all that some people want.

 

If you got O ringed block and good tune you sould be fine ... the o ring will help eith that extra seal around the thin sleeves
