    i have a 90 tsi 5speed awd, as it sits here is list of things it has.
    BR FMIC
    Dejon pipes, with tial bov, 3" gm maf
    BR 3" turbo back
    ACT 2600
    light weight FW(i forget what brand)
    brand new head with BR springs, stock cams, stock gears, kevlar timing belt
    the bottom end needs rebuilt or replaced
    maft GenII
    eprom ecu
    92 wire harness
    255 in tank
    Stock intake mani, TB, rails
    550 injectors
    FPR, MBC

    my goal is a street car with 300-350 hp that i can drive to school and work

    i am going to upgrade to maft pro
    I have a FP3565 that i think is too much turbo for my goal.

    what i could use input on is as follows.

    should i upgrade cams, gears
    what should i do about the block, 2.0 or 2.3, stock or built
    what would be a good turbo? is evoIII 16g too small
    should i get a new intake mani, TB

    it has been way too long since i have had one running, i need to figure out a plan and bring this thing back from the dead

    thanks for input

    The EVO3 turbo will be fine. A stroker is awesome on the street. The rest of the combination looks good enough to hit the power goal you are asking about. Good luck!

    i have been leaning towards the 2.3 for a while now, i think you just convinced me.
    will the 3" turbo back be too much for a turbo with an internal wastegate?
