Thumbs up Updated Pics! TURBO!

This past weekend I drove down to RRM and had them install the non-intercooled turbo with blue piping. Wow what a difference! As soon as you step on the gas you can instantly feel the power kick in and the car goes. I now have a permenant smile on my face. Thanks to Gabe and Rob for hooking this up for me and spending all the time to get this done. I know you guys had a lot of other things going on at the same time. I also got the RRM header, Greddy exhaust, and magnacore wires.

Az3ar- I don't know what that stuff is called that is on my radiator hose. Gabe put it on there when he installed the kit. Maybe email him and ask him what the stuff is and ask where he got it.

I spent $4,500 to get the whole thing installed. It was worth it!

I think the next thing will be the intake manifold and throttle body. I know what you mean having the red with all the blue. I'd definately spend the extra cash to get the blue one. I think I'm going to take off the water lines and whatever else I can and put on some of that stainless covering along with the blue anodized fittings. I think that would spruce things up a bit too and make it look a bit cleaner. Now I need a bodykit, too bad there aren't any new ones coming out. Anybody have a stock oz bumper they'd sell?. I wanna make my own front clip. I also ordered all my Greddy gauges today. Wanna make sure everythings cool when I'm cruising down the road.

I wish I had 4,000 grand to spend on a turbo. But the tree in my back yard only drops leaves. Looks good man.

congrats on the turbo. you are dreaming if you think whenever you hit the throttle that you are getting instant power, we get considerble turbo lag with this.

I know there is considerable lag. Once you hit above 3000 rpms then you can feel it kick in. Its just such a big difference from stock.
