Officially mine should be TGTO for Turbo GT Over 3 liters...though my engine might change to a 2800 hybrid  or a 3liter down the line.  

What Z stand for....?

Well they always just called the Turbo STEs a TSTE?  So who knows how to name it?

So the snow falls, my beretta is pushed out of the garage to allow for the hoards of x-mas stuff my parents have to be put up, boxes of crap all over, my bench cluttered with crap.
From inside my warm home, I wipe a gap of frost clean from the window and peer out into the driveway to see my car, nothing but a large mound of white, as 6inches of snow sits.
Finally x-mas is over, time to RE clean the garage and get my baby back inside to begin engine removal.

As for my engine, its sitting anxiously on its stand.
Everymorning I walk into the shop to start my days work the rising sun shines on it, the upperend glistening in the sun like frost on morning grass.

As I wipe my wrench clean and place it orderly in my box I look over and see it.  I irrestiably must wipe the days dust off its polished alluminum.  
"not much longer" I whisper into the throttle body. I turn my back and as I walk away, i hear a sound that sends a shrill down my spine and makes me stop dead in my tracks, "oooops!" sorry about that kevin.
I turn around in rage and see my beauty covered in dirty grimy mineral spirts splashed up from the parts washer, *** #$#@%^ $%&!

LOL , serisouly tho. It is sitting anxiously on the stand. fully assembled, glistening in the sun, awaiting installation. As soon as my garage is clean again. the blown 3.1 is going out and my rebuilt tgp engine is going in. I cant wait.

Here are some more pics. I had some of these posted on bstuff.

Hrmmmmm, im trying to transfer the pics of it fully assembled that I took with my phone onto the comp.

thats it for now guys

Yeah, I wonder what became of the engine that was all painted, polished and ready to drop in
