Rep Power: 0 sorry guys can't post any pics anymore cuz I change my mind installing the turbo, it's because I found out that there were 15 cars in the valley that were impounded and all of those cars are boosted.. so that's it for me..damn i got the kit too and it sucks that I can't install it

Rep Power: 0 it's not illegal to have a turbo. those guys were probably selling drugs or running from the cops, but either way you have some things for a turbo set-up right? you going to sell it then.

Boo... quit ur whining... lol j/k... but cali get way more aftermarket support easier than anywhere else in the country... so c'mon i'd rather try to be sneaky with it knowing it's illegal and that i can get the parts, rather than not getting **** without shipping killing you

has anyone considered a top mount ic? how difficult would it be to mate a functional hood scoop onto our hoods and stick say a wrx tmic under that? the tb is in the right spot? and wouldnt you be so 
rolling around with your functional hood scoop! also, you wouldnt have to worry as much about piping... just a quick thought not actually planned out or anything so please dont flame lol

Rep Power: 0 A liquid to air intercooler would require less piping, but then there is the problem of getting the water to the intercooler. It would, however, take up less space, here are a couple(at the bottom)...http://shop.store.yahoo.com/cheapturbo/pwrinas.html

Rep Power: 0 ^^^^ copy cat... i did that 3 weeks ago..... has crazy quick spool up time!!!! but then my mechanic guy failed to mention that i should let him keep my car till i buy some fuel ****, instead he told me just not to boost, and well that's practically impossible.... so i fu.cked the motor and gave up, too many headache's i had already, so now it's back to slow, with screwed motor, and selling the kit, and the car... lol
