    I am looking for any advice you guys might be able to offer on my current projects. I have a 99 GTP and a 99 Buick Regal GS-Turbo that I will be swapping drivetrains, selling parts, combining, etc.

    This will be the first time pulling the engine/trans. for me in newer cars. Any advice or special tools? Anyone in So. Central WI/Northern IL wanna help? Any experienced/quality tuners in the area?

    Anyways, the plan is to take the stock L67 minus any mods from my 99 GTP(26,000 mile) and swap with the Regal's L32 turbo engine (less than 10,000 miles). I will be taking as many mods and parts from both cars and putting them on my GTP, returning the Regal to a low mile, mildly modded GS and selling it and selling all unused mods. Here is a basic list of mods for both cars (pics and info on my cardomain):

    I would like to buy a Stage 2 IC and bypass electronics and twin-charge it, but money is short and I'm not sure. I love the M90, but always wanted a turbo. I plan on selling my TOGs and buying ZZP Plogs. I'll also be selling all left over mods from the Regal and any on the GTP that I won't be using anymore. I have done quite a few bolt-ons, but as stated this will be my first newer or FWD engine/trans. pull(s) and swaps. Thanks for any input.
