That sux man,, Are you still on your stock clutch? I'm very interested because back in december i bought a nytrex dry system for my car but haven't put it in yet. I've been buying other bolt ons first. Any spending time with my kids and haven't had time to install the system yet. Seems like every weekend there's always something going on...

36.90 * 60 = $2214. In a years time you will far exceed the amount needed for a FI car that will be much faster. You're throwing your money in the garbage.

And not to mention you can take the system out and put it in your next car. The power is there when ever you want it. Who wants to spend 3-4 thousand on a turbo then a couple months have the system start falling apart on you, manifolds welds cracking, oil bleeding into the turbo through bearings, and all the other problems that i read about turbos and s/c on scionlife. Nitrous is cheap horsepower, it takes about an hour to two hours to install and i haven't herd one bad thing about n2o on anybodys tC. Just my 2 cents

his car's a 5spd, used to be an auto. whenever he was down here getting tuned, st00pid actually called up my bro and wanted him to run 318. too bad my bro was tied up with some things that night.
