Opto's turbo escapades have come to a close
That's right - the turbo kit is now officially off of the car - and for sale!

I really am saddened - as it was fun while it lasted. This morning while driving to work with the stock components back on the car - it sure felt like a slug!

Rep Power: 311 Unfortunately I've decided to keep my civic, as I am broke from my house...
Plus - with the price of gas here in florida (2nd highest in the nation only to california), I really can't afford to drive a gas guzzler either (IS300?)...
So - any takers on the turbo? I need to sell it!

Rep Power: 0 anybody watch the vid? its pretty sick, hes doing some burnouts/donuts.
I am thinking of makinga vid tonight before I get rid of my car. I have to have some vids. Ill do some runs in a parking lot (where there are always bikers messing around). There are a bunch of cops across the street watching cars all the time though. Ill put up a vid in a few days hopefully.

Rep Power: 0 Sucks to hear but at least you have your priorities straight 
. You shined alot of light on turbo and type S injectors which helped some friends of mine and I so good luck in future adventures. You know you'll be boosting again eventually
