Mmmm, goodies. That time when everything is new and clean.
Are you going to go straight to a tdo5 before you put it all back in? In which case get the new ex mani, there have been reports of the welds cracking on those SS ones though, but I know some that haven't. I've gone with a ported
stock evo 3 to keep the stock look.
Do you have an eprom ecu? If you do, get it socketed, it's good for a drop in programed chip, I think some on the forum have had theirs done by Meek, then If you need to in the future you can get ecmlink to handle future upgrades
If you're coming along on sat I can chat to you about a mild head port job as well, it really doesn't take much to clean up the cast lines and do a bit of bowl and transition work, I would recommend a pro to cut the seats if they need
doing and a surface job.
You'll find using what you have and giving it a bit of love and a port/cleanup will make a difference, then you can put the $ into machining which is not an area you want to skimp on.
There is a bit to think about when doing a rebuild, but it's all about balance and doing it right.
