[QUOTE=Epitath;530789]Where do you live? Because that can get your car crushed in some states, and it's not cool to put peoples life in danger...[quote]

I live in CA, and we don't fly up and down freeways at 120. it would be on like highway 5 when you can't see any cars for miles in front or behind

A reputable company that's done several turbos on cars before will be installing this system. My stepfather owned a bodyshop for years and has contacts, but I'm making sure I get it done someplace where I feel comfortable that they know what they're talking about.

No I don't know. All I know is that it will rock my world if I decide to go WOT. 12 isn't a 100% this-is-what-i-want figure, but I was using it as a starting figure. I'll probably go for 5-7psi since I'm looking for something that will last me a little while.

Several times. I've been to Skip Barber driving and racing schools, I've driven vipers and a few modified porsches at tracks. I don't plan on putting the turbo on right away, so I can get a feel for the power of the car before any modification is done. Only then will I work on adding mods, but I'm not stupid/reckless in anyway. That is why I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I even get the car. I'm a year and a half away from even ordering.

Any other questions/comments? I appreciate the ones so far.

I plan on it. fastlane's says they're working on turbo applications but nothing has happened yet.



@ Ninjak: Thanks for your comments, I'll keep my eyes open to see what people are running but at least I have a rough idea of the size of turbo I want.
