    Yea I binged the hell out of this thread and other's specific build threads.

    Yea, haltech would be sweet but got damn they is pricey!

    I've been keeping my eye out on aem units and there seems to be some pop up on ebay here and there. That said, anyone know if any of the current aem equipment is compatible? Series 2 or the infinity line I think they are.

    If you check out the 2tr performance thread, we've discussed it a couple times. The only option out there so far for us that want a different cam setup, would be WEB camshafts. You have to send them a set of factory cams, and tell them your build specs and they'll work with you on a custom grind. Back when I contacted them in January of 2021, they were six week lead time and 1k for the regrind.

    In talking with LCE about it, if you do the regrind and send them the specs, they can do a set of relief cut pistons from their forged lineup.

    Nice! Sure sounds like a turbo. Have a rough idea what power you are putting out?
