Dont do VG, go sr20 or rb25/rb20 its gonna be the easiest and safest bet.

Yeah fu** that VG idea. From what I've seen in your posts already, you're going to have this done at a shop and you'll pay ridiculous labor. Not to mention, when something breaks you're going to hate it in that car. More than likely, that shop will talk you out of the VG as well. If you bought this 240 I bet you've done research and YOU KNOW the SR or Ka-T will put down the same but cost less. I think you just want to say, "I've got a twin turbo 240"..... my Mom said it and she was a turbo Z owner back in the day (new off the lot). Mother knows best .

Exactly. Probably one of the more fun I had in a turbo car. Then again Zimzorga, with your past and present experience, SR20DET would be your best bet as it's more forgiving to novice drivers/tuners. (This shit better not turn into an SR, KA argument) Read some of Greaser's scripture.
