Probably, but I doubt you'd have all the supporting mods.

Get a used single turbo kit and make sure u save half of that 6 Gee's for the install.. keep ur fingers crossed when all is said and done.. It really is a shame that in order to extract a nice amount of power for the VQ you need serious cheddar..

I wasn't complaining, I actually am annoyed at the people complaining. I drive my car all day and get bad gas milage. I don't even worry about it. I didn't buy this car to cry about gas prices.

I was just pointed out to the complainers that it seems to have stopped. Lets not make this a gas discussion we have to many. Carry on.

yea but you have to consider install and tune, which will probably be half (if not more) the amount the kit costed.

It doesn't mean that I agree with the current state of things, but it's not going to deprive me of the joy my car brings me.

I get the same feeling

As for the question. I would be so cheap and a marketplace **** more than I am right now looking for the PART OUT and some how squeeze out something boosted with modest looks, definitely a sleeper on some decent 18's.
