Stereo or Turbo kit fund?
Well I got a check from the insurence company for 1800 approx for what was stolen out my car. They basically stole everything but my speakers....
now I face the dilema....
should I put the money away and buy a new 9835 alpline deck for the dash.
or should I repair the damage they caused and rebuild my system again spending the full 1800.
I was thinking of getting MRV alpine amp, fosgate new T series and having car rewired.
what it comes down to is will I miss my stereo that much, or is the turbo so cake icing that it can sacrifice a good system?
also can anyone tell me total they spent on thier turbo kits?
Im talking about LX to EX exhuast conversion for the SF kit, guage pod, guages and a manual boost control?
that sound like a good setup?
anyways let me know what you guys think would be best. Also will the SF turbo kit with the Ex downpipe pass california smog?

I wish someone could answer my turbo questions about california law though...
Is it legal for me to switch to EX exhuast? has anyone check smog with this?
Can I pass smog with a turbo? has anyone been smogged yet?
If so why the hell wont SF get it Carb legal I would pay them 100 bucks if he did. Can't be more than that for the paperwork Im sure others would pay as well

one of the few things i do not regret getting is my system. for 1800$ you can get a real nice system. If you ever decide to sell your car, with a turbo you lose $$$$, where as a system you could just take it to your new car.
Good look finding a carb legal kit.
