I believe that the 2.1L kit costs about....$1300-$1500?  2.2L is well over
$2000.

Same.  First and only thoughts.

Brospeed certainly looks nice.  If you get a header of anykind, make sure
it's ceramic coated.  What's HPC?  TT downpipe w/ ported manifold is not too
shabby either.

No offense to those of you w/ Boge (Brady), but my impression of them is
that they are for the *thrifty* modifier.  Not as expensive, but then again,
not as nice.  They are, however, a light year better than stock.  I'm just
saying that if' youre spending the cash that your are on the engine, you'd
might as well be consistent and get those Bilsteins.  If you do get Boges,
get Boge Progas.  Not turbo.  Way too soft for your needs.
