&M-GTE head on the 7M-GE

I think you need to go take a 7mgte for a test drive and you will forget all about the 7mge. I drove my friends 7mgte the other day and once you hit boost you will be addicted. If you are going to all the trouble of rebuilding a 7m why not make it a gte. A 7mgte stock will beat out a modified 7mge anyday. As long as you take care of the main wear items there is no way a turbo should not be as reliable as a na. I did the same thing with my na and it is still slow compared to a turbo.

The intake manifolds are different because the turbo forces air while the na sucks it in and I think it is the intake cam that is different.
