I won a storage unit auction about a year an a half ago with an 2004 MSM (Titanium)in it. It was in rough shape, all taken apart and missing some parts like the MOTOR! So after fighting with the DMV for a year I finally got a title. Was going to build a standard rod/piston 1.8 turbo and slap it in there. Than a local guy totaled his 2004 Red MSM. I bought it. After stripping all the parts I don't need off it and selling them off at a friends shop the car is finally home.
Part II
Now time to pull this MSM motor and sell off turbo kit clean it up add some rods/pistons. Then buy a real turbo, leaning EFR, MS, FM II clutch, and supporting hardware and shoot for 300 whp, while keeping AC and PS and all the comforts of life.
Go...
Anyone want a MSM turbo setup?
