boost it and gives us all a ride =)

I noticed your post for the used turbo $2200. Thats a good deal. If I have the money I would get it too. You can always buy your lips and wheels later.

The only reason I'd get a turbo is to race for money. Hopefully I'd win enough to break even with the turbo. It really depends on how you drive. I don't think I am ready (finantially) to drop 2g's on something like that. It would be hella fun to have my car boosted. How much do you enjoy driving versues how much do you like turning heads?

VRRRRRRRRRRRMMM PSSSSSSSSSSSHHH ...that will turn heads, even it a "sleeper" looking car.

Yeah, sleeper cars are cool, i had a sleeper with my stereo. I had an old regal and when i would pull up to the spl line, ppl would laugh. Well, i had the last laugh, i pulled out a 150.8 db's with only (1) 15" sub and only 1000 watts. Peeps shut their mouths then, hahaha. Anywayz, i'm the opposite, i'd rather turn heads by banging switches. This winter the civ is gittin bagged, can't wait. Let us know how u make out with the turbo install.

Once you join the darkside, you'll never want to go back. Just make sure you read up on getting boosted and how it works, before you actually get into it.

I'm thinking about boosting too! But I need money. How much does installation cost or is anyone willing to do it for free
