Just curious as to why you decided going with the IM? There won't be significant gains due to the restricted flow of the 2.0L head. It creates a bottleneck and you'll lose out a little bit on your low end torque. Going FI with the IM is a different story though, I guess you'll be going down that route later on. But not worth on an NA 2.0 setup in my opinion, unless you plan on fully building the internals.

In the 2.3L, the IM is what causes the bottleneck. So putting a Cosworth on it makes sense, but for the 2.0L the head is the bottleneck. I see it's on sale though, good time to pick it up if any! So what are you going to do for tuning? Bring it to DaSilva I guess?

But either way, it's bling factor! It'll look nice under the hood :)

Bling for sure and it does set me up for mods in the future.
I'll take it to Dasilva. They seem like they know what they are doing. I did think about asking you about Tom and how much he charges for tunes but I don't think I'll have the time to rum emails back and forth.

The IM might give me a loss in low end torque but I'll be the test of it for all of you to see. I've had decent luck with power out put with this car lol. So I'll see. I may be doing cams and P&P in the near future too. So we will see and you can see it on my car at the Performacne World Carshow.
