ZZP does seem to be a reputable company based on what I've read from the members here on the forum.

If you're going the route of a new engine, you really should get a new turbo also. It would be risky to put an old, worn turbo on the new engine.

Just a quick thought, now would be a good time to replace the motor mounts holding all that new power. Would not take but a few minutes and save you hours later on.

Good thought. Make sure the mount hasn't already been replaced with a TTR mount, though. Here is a thread that can help you know if you have a stock mount(replace it!) or the TTR mount(keeper!)

Get the ZZP LDK, I did, and used my same turbo.

My OEM went at 160k something, due to skipped timing.

I also have the TTR mount and sway bar.

Thanks for your input JJJ, how many miles have you run with the LDK?

They made it easier, I haven't had time to update the tut.

Click "User CP" then under "Networking" find "Pictures and Albums" then follow directions. You can drag & drop from your computer or copy a url or browse your computer to upload into your album.

Then copy the new url from your album to the picture icon dialog.
