So I currently have a 86 gxl with a 6 port turbo setup

Currently I have the following installed
Walbro 255lph
Hks Filter
Portmatched and Milled TII LIM
TII UIM
550cc injectors
Aeromotive FPR
Emissions removed
AC/PS Removed
Rtek 2.1
Greddy Wideband
Autometer Boost Gauge
Greddy Pyrometer
S5 Turbo
Bonez Downpipe
TID Mod
Throttlebody mod
RP Precat replacement
-6 an ss Fuel lines
FD alternator
Exedy clutch
Recirculated Greddy RS
Air to water intercooler
Greddy turbo timer
New engine harness
Black magic efan

So I have a few options it looks like I can get away with a soft gasket replacement kit from atkins for about $150 keep my current setup and go from there.

On the other hand a lot of what I have is way overkill for what I currently have I could sell my A2W kit and Rtek rebuild the motor with 8.5 rotors and toss a stock topmount and ecu in there and be happy.

I could go back to N/a rock a bridgeport use the Rtek to tune or go carb with a weber 48 ida and sell all of my turbo stuff get a lot of money back and have a peppy N/a engine.

Most of what I mentioned is obviously not that easy but I am open to suggestions as this forum is a bit more "open minded and not so flame happy" as the evil forum :P

Thanks
