Would be nice to know: Were the head studs replaced? any other internals? There are a lot of Stinger owners "testing the waters", since many of these Stinger upgrades have pretty unproven long term (or not so long-term) results overall (since the car is still kind of "new") as far as overall durability. I would like to know if I do "X" upgrade, with this engine should I go ahead and do "A', "B", & "C" upgrades as well. Cost vs results ratio? This differs between car makes and models. That's why this community depends and relies on feedback and updates from the ones doing these heavy builds. I'm in a holding pattern for now (and reverting back to stock primary & secondary downpipes after the notorious turbo seal issues, at least on maybe some 2018/2019 models?? I am experiencing this now), and not doing bigger turbo upgrades until I know more about other potential weaknesses of this car/engine/transmission. Yes if you are this far into the game (aka hobby, passion, etc), you should do thorough research and know what you are doing and what to expect with pushing a vehicle to its limits, BUT....this type of info and communication from owners (even if bad experiences) would help other owners know A) how far they may want to go with customization, and B) get more familiar with some of the specific potential issues and problems that occur after some of these upgrades. Help the noobs. Help the intermediate folks. Help the community. Others have already done this as well, but I'm going to start posting my experiences with my 3.3 AWD mods & upgrades soon to Youtube etc, and I'm sure it will help some (many?) in the community. But!... would still love to hear about what happened with this (very expensive) LAP3 turbo upgrade...

Just wondering, am I missing something? 
They're around, but man you have to search like crazy, and likely drive a good ways to get to them.
