I should have it in about 2 weeks. It costs $2950 before the 8% Texas Tax. Shipping is about $40. It will cost less or the same in gas for me to just drive and get it, so this may be an excuss for a ROAD TRIP!!

Well as some of you know, my car is in the shop getting some bottom-end maintanence done before the turbo (9.1:1 pistons, new rod bearings cause my old ones were toast). Well I get a call this morning form the shop. They discovered that a couple of my cylinder walls have been gouged a little. They will have to be bored out, and I would need oversized pistons. 
Why the hell is this happening to me!:mad
I await their call to tell me how much longer, and how much more $$$$!

Im getting anxious to get mine ASAP, im even selling nearly all my computers to get to 3,500 faster and even asking for Overtime. Im now working on sundays... cause I already ordered the Injen CAI, the Eibach Pro and the Sport Exhaust so I got out of budget.
Thats a total of: $870.00 !!!!!
Soon, The ES pipe (without 1 resonator)
I Hope FM send to Puerto Rico.

YAH,HERES ONE....where is the FS-DE block you had before the swap....go back to that one cuz it would not be a good idea to bore that block anyway,especially for a turbo engine....less metal=less ability to handle stress...turbo=higher stress on engine...final result: boom goes engine!!!...either use the old bottom end or if its gone get a new one

Here's an update. My block, along with all 4 pistons and rings are off at the machine shop now. There is a problem. The oil squriters under the pistons are giving them problems. They are trying to remove them without breaking them. Has anyone else (MP3-Owner) had this problem? Is there a way to remove these without damage? If so could you please help me out?!!
The shop manual did not say anything about them. I hope to have my car back for a road trip to Houston next week, but I don't know...: 
Oh yeah...I also found out my engine is a long block. The US versions are short blocks. What is the difference?

Here is the the latest:
They ordered me some new oil squirters, and the earliest I should have my car back is probably Tuesday (9/17). The turbo kit should be here Firday!!
