RPS and TRS are some of the best forums on the web IMO.

Dude I don't know cougars :P

The only "4-eye" turbo XR7 I've seen anytime in recent memory, was one I saw in the parking lot at WFC in 2003.

I useta be on RPS, til cruznlife decided to be a bell end to me for no apparent reason and told me I shouldn't be on there, so I stopped going. I was just trying to help out people that were doing turbo swaps but oh well.
