The car doesn't have air ride or emissions and more so those bug chunks of wire are useless any how. Quote Selected

Turbo Mark VII Time Reply #5 – November 21, 2014, 08:38:18 AM Call me dumb, and I am too lazy to google it, but are you putting a turbo on a stock engine? Can you do that? Well obviously you can, but is it going to be able to hold up? Quote Selected

Well obviously you can, but is it going to be able to hold up?It'll be fine until the 500whp mark then, its a ticking time bomb.My care level for this motor is at the point, I'm not turning hte boost down. It will remain where ever the 15lb spring in the gate and, the boost controller from the last car limit boost at. Quote Selected
