Mine won't be turbo'd by YNP unfortunately. Just don't think i'll have the money for all that good stuff just yet.
Ha ha the whole family in the rabbit! Don't think they'll fit well in back with the roll cage! lol
I'm not sure if they are going to make this trip. Might just be me this year, not sure yet.

Update :

Given the price that I got from Laszlo at 034 I'm gonna end up going with a 2.0 stroker kit.

Brandon, about how much did all your motor and head work run you at ICM?

250 for the head, but i got loads of shit done. decked, new guides, 3 angle valve job, all new valves and seals. then 300 for the block, decked, bored, honed, new IM shaft bearings, and a thorough cleaning.

034 is awesome
Stoker kit with the polished knife edged crank? Those are nice they show up in a wooden crate just the size of the crank shaft....it is pure sweetness when you open it

ABA CRAKSHAFT, 92.8MM STROKE, FOR USE IN 058 BLOCK WITH PROPER
CLEARANCING
SCAT 4-CYLINDER ROD SET, 144MM LONG, 20MM PIN 1
JE FORGED PISTON SET, 1.8T, 82.5MM BORE, 92.8MM STROKE, 9.0:1 COMPRESSION

Sweet! That's not bad at all! I'm definitely gonna look into going to those guys.

still probably want a limited slip for the back anyways if you ever want to turn up the power. and if it were me and money was no object. skip the GT-RS and go for the new GT-X turbos. that is if money is no object anyways... haha

Nice that is pretty standard. I heard it is cheaper if you have an 06a block because you can use a 2.0 fsi crank and no clearancing required. My old roommate was building one of these went crazy spent crazy money. lol Check out http://www.qedpower.com BobQ is the 1.8t GOD
I will try to find pics of the polished, lightened, knife edge crank the old roomie bought.
