I would have at least ripped off the turbo kit and stuck a header on there before selling it to the stealership..

After reading the first post I was going to say "sorry to hear about your tC troubles", but given the subsequent post, it sounds like you're doing fine.

I wanted to take my kit off but I didn't have the stock injectors or stock intake. I would of needed to reroute vacuum lines and oil lines and new injector clips. The a pillar would of had to be replaced and the hg blew near my midterms and I needed a car. I wanted to wait but ran out of money after I just got done rebuilding motor and tune.
