I'm asking, because i plan to build the same as you did, but only with an intercooler. I don't need as much power as you, but I don't want to kill my engine

I would do it again with a 95 especially if you don't need over 300 HP and make sure you get a good turbo. The turbo was the problem it was leaking oil out the exhaust side seal and causing the smoke.

Rings and pistons actually came out looking cleaner then the 98 pistons that where covered in carbon build up. The intercooler would help with egts but like I said they never got over 975 and I put it through the ringer.
