Piston, do you take turbo to be your lawfully wedded wife?

Yes.

You may now kiss the turbo.

Well since the cats out the bag...

I think i may be able to use the le5 head. If i dont have the solenoids plugged in then the cams should stay at zero phasing. So long as the intake cam sensor is the same as the 07+ L61 then it should work.

Anyone have any input on this?
