also guys..if i were to keep the stock turbo and keep stock i should just buy new factory oem internals?i jeard the oem ones are good for up to 450-500ho... what should i do? i rebuild is necessary for my motor... if aftermarket internals aren't that much more, should i go thT route but that means i have to upgrade turbo and injectors for those internals right...any suggestions would be great..it's just hard for me to decide right now cuz thanks guys

Use the stock internals. Phase2 and Enjuku are putting down more than 400rwhp on the stock bottom end. I would invest more of the money on the vavletrain as that seems to be one of the weak points on the SR. RAS, Titanium Retainers, etc.....You should definately upgrade the fuel pump if you haven't already. Well, your post is kinda confusing b/c your grammar is sloppy :) Maybe it's just because I've been up for so long, I don't want to try and figure out what your saying.

I figure that if your going to rebuild, you might as well upgrade. At the very least I would go for some forged pistons, all new bearings, and have the crank polished and everything balanced. There is no reason you would have to upgrade the turbo etc. based upon the internals you are running, especially not if you maintain a stock compression ratio.
