I'm only saying that based on things I hear about with normal top swaps at what, 9psi? What'* the turbo going to put out, 20psi? Hmmm, lemme see here...
1 beer, he blows out his MAP sensor.
2 beers he relocates the plastic plenum somehwere else besides the top of the engine.
If none of the above happen within a month, then I got a 12pack on the line if the bottom end goes.

Got a lot done today.
First, pulled the struts and ball joints. Both are being replaced.
Then installed the new power steering rack.
Then I got ambitious.
Went in with little effort.

Whatever. You make it sound like you installed that engine with the click of a mouse. LOL.

ive read the aluminum upper from a series 3 will fit but has to be adapted to the II tb. you ever do any of those, seems like a better fit for a turbo. i was thinking about it when my intake manifold went just so i wouldnt have the cracking again and mine is stock.
