Well yeah I forgot to include running daily on a standalone, but still... Yeah the labor for pistons and crap is a lot more involved but living with the car is simple compared with worrying about oil supply, overboosting, blowing turbo seals, all sorts of crap that can go wrong

a standalone is an ECU which can take over just about everything the car does and can help control/take advantage of many more mods, unlike piggibacks which either do A/F (air/fuel), or A/F and timing. if you buy HC (hich compression) pistons, you'll need a standalone to take advantage of it, otherwise you are kinda wasting your money...

ah peeps....I don't want to go into any more detail but you guys are WAY over-complicating things..
Just give me some time to work out some details and I'll show you what I mean. I'm trying to source a donor car now. As soon as I do I'll show you what I'm working on.
