      It's more than 5hp, not much, but it is more.

      B6- 88hp
      B6D- 108hp

      Yes, I plan on turboing it, but after I fix the driverside body damage.

          No worries, yeah I'll feel it, I have my SOHC reasonably modded to where you can feel some extra power out of it, but I drove the MX3 after the gasket changes and it's completely stock and it was plenty meaner than my SOHC in a slightly heavier car, so I'm really excited! I'm looking for an intake for it, I have a huge KN filter already so I just need to find piping, I may order an underdrive pulley beforehand as well, what do you guys think about that, do you have any suggestions, is the pulley worth the $60 I found for a machined piece, or am I better going with just plugs, wires, and the intake for now?

          Later.

              Thanks man, I really appreciate the help. I actually went to another mechanic to do this for me, he's charging me $700, but he's pulling 2 motors, doing a tranny flush, oil change, and putting the power steering into my 323, so I'm getting one hell of a deal! He does this kind of stuff for a living and has swapped just about anything you could imagine including an RB26TT into a 180sx, so he has a little knowledge of the field so my confidence level is much higher in him than the previous mechanic I had planned on using.

              I still don't know if I should put the underdrive pulley on it or not, I think I'll just do the plugs, wires, and intake for now and get the other stuff taken car of later.

              Later.
