I want turbo!!!

I saw your sig pic of your turbo in another post yesterday and went to your cardomain to see what your kit looked like but it didn't have any pics of it so it confused me. It looks like a good kit. Now all we need is a dyno graph and some time slips from the track. Which turbo is that? Are you sure you want to remove those fans?

BTW I like where you put the turbo timer.

Probably just the way it was worded, Sprinty!! Don't sweat it... you and I know what the REAL deal is!

In any case, Jonathan, nice-looking setup. I'm ASSuming unless you're running some kinda "Back-To-The-Future-Car-Digesting-Garbage-For-Energy" thing, your battery is in your trunk?

Thanks for the replies guys, yeah it hauls like crazy and yeah i need a drop asap haha. I'm just in debate right now because im fearful of the pipes hitting the speed bumps at school. But yeah a drop and replacing those rusted pieced in the engine bay and everything should look good, i just hope i can find those pieces to replace the ones in my engine bay, you think a dealer would have them? BTW its not too hard to see the turbo timer but i rarely ever need to look at it. The reason it has those yellow markings on the engine is because i purchased a newer one from a junkyard because be previous one had 240,000 miles on it!

Why not, it was fully tested and everything was fine, and it had 55k miles. My previous engine had 240,000 miles. And I got the engine for only $375 shipped.

Sounds like a GREAT deal...

The only *cough*Advice*cough* I have, is to isolate that metal bracket attached to the charge pipe.

I would think that since you have the charge pipe solidly attached to the body of the car with that metal bracket, that anytime the motor torques/twists, you're risking ripping the weld off of the pipe..

I would buy one of those Injen "Vibra Mounts" to allow the engine/piping to move independantly of the rest of the car.

I made the mistake once of installing an Injen intake (on an Acura) without the Vibra Mount - bolted a bracket directly to the body... after about 4 months, the bracket ripped the weld out of the pipe...
