| ok... i got 1, but it needs a few things like a carby, fuel pump and pressure reg. but it has all the stuff like turbo, manifolds, inlet and dump pipes. uses toyota ct12 turbo also comes with spare turbo. basically im looking for about $350 for the lot. btw its a blow through set up. |

copbait have you driven the car stock much yet?
especially in an underbraked car i'd be wary of bolting on go fast bits until your used to driving around...
i know a turbo wont do huge things to a 1600 but all the same.... a v8 car with a heap of power has a heap of brakes and chassis to keep it under control
just a thought |

| Yeah thanks martin, i know that the turbo isn't a neccessity, its just around shepparton there isn't many crazy 4's getting around, its all dominated by f#@K'in V8's. Just wanna have enough power to send em all home crying after i leave them for dead off the lights. You should be able to understand that...see it this way, second place is the first loser! am i right? As for the issue of a powerful motor without good brakes to back it up..i have that issue under control. |

i gotta admit that one of the coolest things you can see is the face of some hoon in a done up honda civic's jaw drop as a 18 year old gemini is in front still in first gear while he's flooring it in second |
