Yeah that is true funds are a bitch I know what you mean, its pretty gay cause recently some guy backed up into cause he hauled *** out of his parking spot to show off and ran right into me and my airbags went off so i have a steering wheel that is taped closed, but I want to get some Underglow, headers, turbocharger, the works, but I also dont want to be driving around with a taped up steering wheel and a new steering wheel with hub is like 250-300 is im lucky and thats for a cheap one........

*edit* In reference to abmerop's IC sizing comment...
no no no.... his turbo is actually perfect sized for that IC, the pics might make it look small but it is not small by any means... hector what is the flow capacity of the IC again? and like he said he's not planning on boosting that much daily, no need for a huge as IC unless he's planning on pushing close to 20 PSI and only using the car as race use, it would have soo much pressure drop and lag... anywayz, props to you hec even though your not my fav person right now, lol, i'm over it though, i wanna see if when it's done here in orlando

But you are right I'll be boosting about 10psi daily till I get all the buggs worked out then I'll move to 12- 14.
I'm getting a boost controler to dial boost up when need it.
I drive my car every day and I just wanted to be reliable and ballsy

Rep Power: 305 We have a new beautifull stainless equal lenght mani that just fabricated but because I want to keep the A/C intact I couldn't use it.
I'll need to contact Dynamic Speedlab and see how much they want for it.
But know that you'll have to remove the A/C compresor.
For more info on the internals, perst numbers, prices ,contacts got to the Turbo FAQ on top of this forum.
My car should be ready to dyno by the first week on November.

Rep Power: 305 Sponsors will only give you good prices, they will sacrifice profit.
You'll still have to pay for most of it, and have to work for the sponsor to sell and promote thier product.(nothing is free)
Its taking me 2 years to do my cars performance.
How much?...... well let's say I have to work lot's of overtime.
Take in account that no sponsor will do anything on a stock car, you'll have to do lot's of work on it and lot's of PR to deserve it.
So it's not that easy.

Rep Power: 488 looks great man. that manifold is beautifuly
just a couple thing though, you defeniatly need a filter for the turbo, dont wannt be suckin in anything bad into it and fcukin it up.
also, why is you BOV on the bend of your IC piping near the bumper and not on your charge pipe?
