    Can't go wrong with arp, even with a stock rebuild.. Cost is cheaper!

    All pro's for ARP..

    Only con is OEM bolts are "TQ to yield", they can only be used once!!


    Later!

    Arp = stronger
    Arp = reuseable
    Arp = cheap ( around 120 shipped )

    only downfall is the time you have to wait for them. about 2 weeks

    oem = only good for close to stock hp
    oem = NOT reusable, if you try and fail, you'll have to fish them out of the block. did it before
    oem = about the same price as arp


    i use arp for my d15y7 turbo and d15y7 mini me swap.
