That's why I was hoping to find a local boosted one to actually see before I took the leap myself. ;)

Yeah I figured either I would look for someone to be the turbo guinea pig but if not at least i would be the first turbo tC in CO. Wrong on both counts *tear*

I'm thinking mine's going to end up being a guinea pig once I'm moved into my new place and get settled in.

So I decided against the SC thing. I"m going to build my own turbo kit.

I will be using a t3/t4 turbo (it was free "yes") a tial 38mm external wastegate with manual boost controler (dirt cheap) "yes". so this is why I decided to go turbo if you didn't figure it out I got a free one with only 2000 miles on it from a friend a coworker hooked me up with the wastegate and boost controller. another co-worker is selling me his intercooler for 100 bucks. 29X5 3/4X3.

I figure I can peice together a kit off ebay, craigslist, and friends and coworkers for less than 2gs.

I will be making or having a someone I know make my exhaust manifold and down pipe and I will just weld it up.

will let you know how it goes but I'm not made of money and will take some time to save up and buy the parts I need.

let me know how your kit goes.
