How hard are LSD's to install and uninstall in the f23? If I buy one i dont want my next trans to take a dump at 20k again. Then id have to swap it into another junkyard 5 speed. 2nd gear is almost out and 3rd is all the way out currently. Is there a better option that i could use. I wouldnt mind spending 2k if it lasts.

come monday ill be ordering wiesco 10:1 pistons, eagle rods, rings, cap bolts, and clevite rod bearings. then all that is left is head stuff. talked to a machine shop and for $100 ill get the head pressure tested, hot tanked, valves/springs installed, and shaved if its warped. all done within 2-3 days. this build should be cake.
have fun with it and take your time. You'll love the high boost

a little update: I'll be running 22psi on the k04 once i get the engine built. no one wants my current kit right now so ill collect parts over winter for the bigger turbo. plus i need to learn how to handle another 100 whp first. i should have everything for the build withing 3 weeks then ill plan a date. build shouldn't take long. tear down will be done in a n night then my head gets sent to get everything put in and checked. while thats being down ill install the pistons and misc. oem parts. once the head comes back (2-3 days) ill put it all back together and get a tune from james. getting excited especially now that its getting colder my car pulls like a **** in the mornings. i love it lol. now to get reliability done.
