8/25/24: Sent an email to the machine shop but will call later
8/26/14: started to pull apart the intake manifold to clean it out, got a lot of stuff off but will probably end up just putting some of it together without cleaning it. the inside of the manifold was very oily on both sides of the turbo and I suspect the turbo was replaced very recently because it was clean. there is secondary throttle bodies of sorts right before the ports by the fuel injectors, I still am not sure of the purpose of these.
8/27/24: put intake manifold back together
8/28/24: went to machine shop and found out I need heads for the engine and if I got heads IM down over 1k for just the bare heads that require valve paraphernalia and machining to work, not to mention camshafts. the shop also could not do the crankshaft because it was too small. they did say $180 for a hone. after looking at my numbers I do not really like them, I would have to spend around 3k on fixing the engine and at that point I think I can look at the ej20x. so now I am doing research on the 20x to see what will be the best fit and what I need to do to make it work best.
