are you shitting me? south west? i know people who have worked there, and would NEVER take a car there. i dont say they do bad work cause i havent heard bad comments that way, but i know how he treats his employees and ppl in general.
and to those that mentioned it, i dont think Adam from JEM would do it, thats not really his line of work he deals mainly with ECU instaliations and tuning.
i wouldnt do it cause thats not really what we deal with.
the way i would do it is if you know SPECIFICALLY what you want and know it will work, take the engine out yourself and send the block, head away seperately to places and do the assembly yourself.

if it was a normal rebuild and the money was right, i'd be tempted.. but...
only decent easy aftermarket pistons are ACL, get them from NASON at chipping norton, alfred rd (near cam tech and gem engines).i have 40 thou ones atm and they have survived me.
the Repco/toyota ones suck.
why forged pistons?
no-one does off the shelf forged pistons, custom only.
new lifters are hard to find, toyota only  not sure if they have stock.
180mm weber?
quads EFI? or twin carbs? may not have space for air filters for twins  KE10 doesn't...

that is very dissapointing considering i have the same clutch with no troubles, and my boost comes on pretty sharply too. maybe something else could be wrong, like contamination from a leak? very unlikely tho. i will speak to phil the clutch guy and get some feedback
