but, Pharoh warned you

So I think the turbo will be shipped out today or tomorrow morning. It'll be a while before it gets into my hands, cuz I had to ship it to a friend in NY.
I only have the turbo, and an uppipe/downpipe. I'll be collecting the parts over the next few months. My main concern is the fuel management system. If I figure that out, I'm golden.
for the intercooler, I'm going to buy a 19x9x2.75" front mount. I'll just fabricate all the piping myself, with the exception of the turbo manifold. that I'll try to buy.
how much the did the turbo + uppipe + downpipe end up costing me? $230 CAD. Pretty sweet considering it has the flanges ready for easy installation

Rep Power: 316 Sweet! I say some time around the last week of April, I'll have all the stuff by then, and I'm sure everyone will as well. The same day we would do the installs, I could goto Frisby after and get the rims thrown on and get the alignment done.
man I can't wait!!!

Rep Power: 316 ^ don't you remember what happened last April (late) we got dumped on real bad... (snow) I don't wanna take that chance again, plus I need to go into Honda for an oil change mid April, and while I'm there I'll get them to check out my struts, make sure they are still ok before I put the springs on.
don't want to take any chances!
but don't hold back the install on my behalf, if we need to do it sooner, than so be it.

Pharoh : lol it's the shop you told me, Booth Collision center
since the quality sucks, there are alot of prep works to do.
some cracks and waves were there when I opened the pakage.
I donno what cost it's gonna come up to (I am broke broke broke)
I am just afraid that if it's expensive, I cant really pay them with out owening some money from ppl.
it's gonna take a days to just get the prep work done to paint it, and I am on my rental which I am paying for it as of now.
also my insurance is gonna go high high high up.
It's looking great, just small things that makes me worry
I will upload some more pics later.
btw, they are painting the rad. black so it wont show, is that a good idea? (Grill inserts will be left silver)
