Block interchangability

[jtoomasson at yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

'scuse me if I inject a little ignorance here, but why are you so hot to have a block with oil squirters?
 
The reason I ask is that you're building this guy for GRM - which is a small series of races? (this is the part I'm unclear of...)
 
If the intended purpose of this motor is for a limited duration of use (i.e., one-two-time competition) and you're not looking for durability, how would having the oil squirters make much of a difference over the course of your intended use?
 
Just trying to truly define the value of the oil-squirter-deal....

Ooooh BTW I need a little advice...

Turbo choice
T3/T4 hybrid $300-500 various trims
K24 $100 (stock UrQ turbo)
K26 $100 (audi 10vT)

any suggestions.

and regarding the squirters etc. is there anything fancy that we have to 
do?
