You can also talk big on the forums and put cool things under your sig. And it's also great to have crowds gather around your car while your hood is propped open and ask you questions making you look hella cool. Conclusion: for the P-I-M-P factor, i'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. I got 9 #'s so far just tellin the chick, "yeah baby, it's turbo'd...TWIN turbo'd..."

I just got my numbers from Function Tuned, much better than the supercharger kit. People should definitely go turbo.

i went twin turbo for the experience. i had a jeep wrangler lifted and everything and took it off roading, theres nothing like the feeling of being able to go anywhere or push the limit on what you can do. now i boosted my car for the feeling. My theory is you only live once and if you have the ability to try something in your life why not do it. life is short.

Ahhhhh, you do have a point there. How was that off roading as opposed to gettin boosted on the streets.

if you want to know how much it costs, ask some shops. They will tell you. It is a lot of money.

This should not be in the Mid-a section anyway...

I'm surprised no one has posted this yet, but there is a search feature that you should really take advantage of.

We need to have a Mid-A Repost Army like the one in the Off Topic forum.

all in good time. I'm going to call upon the assistance of Abui01 to help with pictures as well as drafting up an entertaining story. keep in mind though, it's on a stock block at 9 psi, so the numbers aren't going to be that spectacular. A couple years down the road when i'm built and sleeved you will see something worthy of talking about.

No one expected anything spectacular out of you anyway

Why would you sleeve the small snails on the 530 kit?
