1 fast z Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I love everything, BUT the turbo selection! Install a cheapo ebay turbo, it will last for quite along time, and their CHEAP. You will be much happier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be much happier! yeah man I was thinking about it..but right now I have just enough to get all the ods and ends to get her togeather.. I was looking at a EDT motors T3/T4 turbo with 8psi internal wastegate.. they are pretty good price but just dont know about the quality. Thanks for the compliments everyone! and special thanks to thoes who have really helped me out along this jorney!! I cannot celebrate too much yet as the fat lady has not sung hehe.. But it SURE feels good to be looking at a L in my engine bay again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want more then anything to go with a larger turbo.. but right now I cannot afford one, let alone the external wastegate, and all other mods, After DNI, that is going up on my first things to save up for..
