17558, savin for da turbo
Posted by soldier101, Mar-13-02 12:22 AM
in 9 days I get a job, and begin saving for the HRC stage 1 kit, which I will then slowly upgrade to 5.....I'm getting 600 bucks for birthday.....so I'll only be 1,600 away........hope to be turbo soon, and I'll be relying on you guys heavily...maybe during the summer when I begin installing....someone nearby could stop by and gimme a hand?

i think stage 1 is actually 2300 but close enough. just make sure you have a little cash because if something goes wrong you need money to fix it. make sure you factor in an egt gauge and a/f meter. not essential, but good to have. lata. i just got a stage 2 and im 17. so its not impossible

Hehehehe, ask anyone here, going turbo will actually cost more than the price of the actual kit. But is is fun thouh. I am learning alot about my car.

Well, you can cut corners, and get a cheap Autometer one...

you can get a good EGT gauge w/ probe for 150 or less and get an air/fuel METER from Corbin for 60 bucks. dont get one of those dancy light things if you want an accurate reading
