Very good...now can you find the TRD part number for the engine mount kit they DO sell to swap in a 2zz into an echo which is not hard to modify for the xB.

I was thinking of putting an rb26dett in the rear hatch and taking out the back seats! JK JK JK. I wish it was possible!!! Even if it was I couldn't afford it but then again there's not many people who can!!!

Once in a while you will find one of those secret shops, or shops that you find where you heard of it from a guy that knows a guy....anyway, they usually are run by one person, who does all the work and is extremely knowledgable. Here in Minnesota, there is this little hole in the wall known as Boost Factory.

The point of my post is, you dont need a crappy kit from Blitz etc.
When a custom fab job will get you better results for a fraction of the price.
I was quoted $1200 for an amazing setup with higher grade materials and not cheapy ebay/ home depot couplers.
Garret turbines onle here. So yea, you can pay 4k if ya want, but look into it a lil further and get yourself a better deal.

Some people live outside of California, and don't really care about being illegal.
