Thank you, you actually just cleared up a lot of my questions. I really like the community here in this forum, everyone has been so incredibly helpful.
It's a good thing I'm still in the early research phase of this project.
So far I'm thinking the best route to go is to Tune + plugs + thermostat + 3-bar map sensor + exhaust + hot pipes to start with, at least as far as the engine goes then later upgrade the turbos, possibly a step down from the ATPs. At the same time as the engine mods I'll upgrade the suspension and brakes. Once I gain more knowledge and get a better grasp on all those upgrades then I'll start thinking about what turbos to add and whether or not I can dedicate myself to the methanol.
Is there anything that can be done about the transmission/drive train issues?
Also, what brakes/suspension upgrades would you recommend? And should I be planning on upgrading the pistons and rods and other engine internals?
