Hmm, I thought that quoting myself would have been clear enough...

Intercoler went in with the "extended warranty" engine;

Charge pipes were bought some time ago, and are awaiting warmer weather to be installed.

Besides, you saw my stash...
the next part I was on the hunt for was neutral balance shafts...

Oh so you grabbed some NBS for that new engine? Just need studs and a balancer and you're good to go

Come on Kev - You're losing it!?!

I'm either going to rebuild the original, or get an LDK to rebuild...

All in time though.

i don't plan high enough boost pressures to require studs, so those might be overkill, and at this time i don't see the merit in those overpriced balancers...

Stock bolts are about $10 a bolt or more. Studs is probably the cheaper bet

but do they require a (partial) tearddown, to retorque?

Most do;
this is a PITA, but if it's required, and you don't do it, you're better off just using stock replacement bolts.
