Whats wrong with the a6/z6 Minime that you need to rebuild it for boost?

for the $$ you'd use to buy the y8, put that into your a6/z6 build
Start with buying a set of ARP headstuds

I have an A6 on mine and it does fine. FYI watch the boost if u have a D15 block. Compression is alot higher when u put a D16 head on that block. Mine is 11:1-200PSI kinda high for boost. Mines gettin the bottle.....

yes good idea always take your time patients is a well needed thing in the world today and in undertaking a engine build since of coarse parts tend to take time to accumulate.
Well goodluck on her im doing a mini me as well soon but not turboing it.....
with low comp pistons you should end up being fine with turboing your motor. with a mini me ontop
