all pm's replied, and im still gonna try to keep this for now, but court tomorrow is lookin worse so i might be selling. on the upside though, i went and got my oil, plugs, tap kit, jb weld, blue sensor safe sealant, and extar fuel and vac. line, and some clamps.

all i got left to buy to finish is the headers, but im kinda stuck until i find out how much i owe this guy in court, i was doin good too, if i gotta sell atleast its going to other enthusiasts who will be using the stuff wisely. parents always said i gotta learn the hard way, guess they're right, lol.

got my e-manage too for 180 new, im still reading on how to use it though, i think its gonna take awhile till i understand it, so that will be put on later, after the car is running with the turbo on it.

all that stuff in your quote i got from a local mom and pop place called tunnesons auto. look around for local american muscle speed shops or napa, cause i tried pepboys, advance auto, and a&a auto, they didnt even know what a tap kit was, SAD!!


BIG PLUS was all that came to only 13 bux w/ plugs, (case)castrol oil, and sealant it came to 36 bux.

try the old places first, the ones that carry parts for local garages and stuff, cause they use this kinda stuff everyday, big name brand places only sell parts, complete packages or they dont even have it, lol, jokes.

GOOD NEWS!!! i talked to my arresting officer tonight, lol. he said that he wants 600 in restitution and that is IT!! i was expecting to pay like 3,000 for that kids med bills. so im not selling anything, im putting the kit on starting on the 27th of june. only dissadvantage to me is the dents that kid put in my door, i have to take care of, its part of the deal with the popo. if u dont know the story or are lost and actually interested, pm me for the story.

also, the guy i bought the bodykit from is the same guy that raced marc, rigo(lookslikeanevo)'s buddy, i talked to him, he knows his stuff, i just figured i'd throw that in here cause ppl were dissin him a lot. also when he said he'd race any lancer there(legally of course) he had no idea there was a lancer there w/ stg 2 rrm turbo kit, lol. if u dont know what im talking about, there was a video on sclc of these 2 racing ea. other. this guy knows EVERYTHING, he is comparable to boe or rob, believe it or not.

so INSTALL IS BACK ON SCHEDULE!!!!! yayyyy!!! LOL

i will be posting pics starting on the 30th of june to the 2nd of june. then i need to find somewhere to host video, plz lemme know where i can host vids, and dont say that place that goes offline after getting like 20 dl's.

Sweet for you! Bad for the rest of us who wanted the kit.... My wife and I were just talking tonight about putting a turbo on my baby....oh well. Maybe someday or I might just have to follow your lead and piece together my own turbo kit. Anyway, get lots of pics taken. You doing the install yourself or having someone else do it?

Glad to hear that worked out better than expected for you. If you need any additional info (and I'm doubting you will based on your present knowledge and the research I know you've done) feel free to hit me up. Always happy to lend a helping lobe. Best of luck as always!

Z_Lancer_man: Piece your own kit together, if yo udo decide to go turbo. Not only will you love life and be fast and have the luxury to go at your own pace, you will laugh at all these chumps that paid twice as much as you did to go half as fast.

maxum17ft: When you are done, please explain to me how you go back in time? I really need to correct some mistakes from my past .....
