Rep Power: 310 where the heck is everyone gettin turbo from?
nice job to 7thgenturbo for being member of the week and have a turbo!. i never even heard of this guy or ever seen him post. so wusup im sure everyone is dying to know the stats on your turbo set up.

its not that hard to get a turbo set up... but for those who spent $2000 and over on it, i think u got robbed! i mean, go out, buy a turbo kit from thepartstrader.com or something for like $1200 and then just buy the manifold for our engines seperatley... u would be saving so much money...

Rep Power: 350 Hes a new member and looks like he joined just a few days before he got member of the week, the turbos in themselves arent what costs its getting them to fit the car then the returnless ful systems are a b!tch to get to work with them you looking at about 5Gs and more for drive off

Rep Power: 388 I think Rev Hard doesn't have a kit, but can get you most of the pieces to get it on there. U can get a turbo, intercooler, BOV, etc from any place, and would have to custom make the air intake and header/exhaust manifold. Internal would also have to be custom unless you can some from another car that will fit and be able to handle more boost. The engine will probably only handle around 180-210hp stock with low boost and a 35/50 shot of n20.

Rep Power: 0 Holy sh¡t it's profiled on their webpage

Although they only have a picture of our car, and no real information to speak of. They might not have gotten it posted yet. That's sweet though, can't wait to find out what the deal is there.

Rep Power: 0 hey if i were you guys the turbo manifold from turbo performance in van nuys,ca looks really crappy. riceburnerex bought it and then decided on getting one from rev hard, because i personnally went to go look at it and it at jotech and it was totally worthless it was on their clearance table. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] for 450 the pipes were welded together by a crappy welder and the piping on the inside was totally sorry with some restriction to air flow. This thing was heavy as crap too. Just to let you people know a custom manifold from rev hard is like 7-900 i believe because they really havent really put it into production yet. So if anyone here is going to get a manifold dont get it from turbo performance. Trust me. just my .02 [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
