Well just for the turbo work your right on...but remember...I built a new motor, new clutch, new tranny, new differential and all the various goddies that go along with that. Man does it add up!

Holy ****!

Wow! Please do it. It would be awesome to have the car you worked so hard to build on a magazine. I would do it in a heart beat

LOL...yeah, it does. And the upgrades you mentioned are a must with that level of power. Does no good to have it if you can't put it down....unless you just want to do burnouts all day....lol. Which isn't a bad thing, now that I think about it.

Good luck with it.
