anyway hopefully he will post some info about it....

Nice!!! I wonder how many pounds of boost he's runnin'?

said he would help anyone in the atl area

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!!!!!!!!!



:-D that made me smile
that thang is saweet!

get some more info on it will ya?

i'm jealous. nice vid, but how about a copy of it minus that wack excuse for hip hop?

haha, i didnt do teh editing.....

the guy said he cant post or something....

sweet turbo VE i want i want i want lol cant wait to do my own kinda turbo set up im planning on doing

mmm hmm tell me about it. I dont have VE but if I get this job that I'm waiting to hear from I'm restoring, swapping tranny, puttin in healthier engine, and a nice big turbo. Nobody would expect a turbo on a GXE

waste...of...money..

yea but I'll be making enough of it and it'd be nice to have something decent for once..and yes I know I could buy a newer car which mommy IS getting me a 2003 6 speed

I hear alot of people say this, but I always look at it like this.. if you're gonna spend x amount on a new car, why not spend x amount on an older car and make it like-new and pretty fawkin cool? I mean especially since the new car will depreciate in value tremendously the second it's driven off the lot.

Personally, I'd rather have a perfect like-new condition turbo VE with new paint, refurbished interior, built engine, etc (which I'm in the process of trying to accomplish) than a run of the mill new car that anyone can buy off the lot.

thats awesome. i want one!

thank you James. it wont be a VE but hey VGs can take turbo nicely from what I've seen here. Correct me if I'm wrong but there are way more turbo VGs than VEs on the org..

so yea, I'd like to fully restore (a/my) 3rd gen which ever is more suitable. bodywork and mechanical which means I'm gonna be PMing Michael once I have nice dough

btw in no way did I mean to highjack the thread, please continue complimenting this nice turbo VE

People dont turbo VE's cause they like to drive these cars around for awhile before having some bullsh1t VTC blow up and kill your 3k+ investment

dude why you being so anti turbo bout the ve being turbo'd is it cuz u only have a vg30de and not a ve30de like me and the other ve owners

read my sig bishes.....


I speak from personal exp.

my bad man but you know things are made to break and be fixed so well all know what we have to antisapate from doing a turbo set up and knowingly know dat by chance the vtc's would go out its juz the lil flaw our ve blocks have

i think if i had a ve id turbo...but the timing belt scares me. i saw how much money and time was put into turbogxe's vg and he then killed it.....

if i had the cash to through around...id have mine turbo'd....

If you do it right, and run low boost (like 4PSI) you should be just fine. Plus people for get that too much power causes a lot of problems, unless you drag your car that is, then more power is always better.

Oh and watch out cause people take it personal with you say their VE has a timing belt

Um, i'm not seeing the relationship between a turbo and VTCs. If you have a turbo AND ticking VTCs its your own fault of anything that goes wrong, they cost less than 100$ to fix. I'm pretty sure VTCs don't blow without warning either. Also I was under the impression more people turbo VGs because they have alot more room and are more abundant.

I'm just saying, that when you engine is ticking, it doesnt always inspire you to say, yeah I'll turbo the hell outta my car cause its rock solid.

There really isnt that much more room under the hood of a VG than a VE, I have both so I know. And yes there are more VG folk, but you would have to include the non-SE models to make the difference dramatic.



And everyone knows, if it's not a SE it's just

not quite sure where i said a ve has a timing belt....i was referring to the vg.

but whatever.

lol you made it look like if you had a VE you would turbo it but would be afraid of the timing belt. Anyway yes you've made it clear that you're referring to VG..so wait TurboGXEs VG isnt running anymore?

nope and hes moving on to a 4th gen....

Damn, guess I've been gone for a while..IIRC he was getting 270whp or 13s on 1/4 right?
