..he was checkin out my car and mentioned the intake. He said that if I get the turbo blower from a ?74-76 pontiac le-mans? from a junkyard, and cut a hole in my exhaust or something to get pressure, I can get about 6lbs of boost. Not to mention a few other things needed like a release valve or something. Anyways he said he could do it.

I really don't know what to make of this guy. I quizzed him a little, and he didn't quite pass.

He also showed me these 2 plugs, 1 located right below the throttle body, if you are facing the windshield. He said if I pull the silver dollar sized plug, and replace it with a ?vacuum plug?? in both locations, it will raise my fuel pressure, increasing performance.

I just want to see what yall think. I am gonna talk to him again and clarify some things for us.

I have no intentions of doing this stuff.
So don't worry.
