i got to admit that the parents had helped out, i did get the car new and all. but they wouldnt in a million years help me out with putting a turbo on it! and it did take i think alittle more then 3 years to put the money together for the kit, and i still dont have enough! anyone want to donate a DANA S60/roll cage/ported heads/4 point harness/free tune/new 305.35.18 nittos/BAP/built block??? thats the stuff im missing, im lucky none of it is really required though

i'm gonna be turning 23 in september and I'm trying to finish my turbo build before then, and if I could get the downpipe at least from Hi-flo I could finish it in 2 weeks.

What does "hopefully" mean? 7 days... What a freaking joke! I ordered my Hi Flo kit in Oct, canceled on March 30, ordered a PTK kit the same day, received my PTK kit last week. Hi Flo it's not that hard.
