Haha. Well it was a turbo for sale on eBay, for what I thought was a good price, and I was afraid that if I put it here, somebody else would buy it first. But it doesn't matter now, I talked to EvulFlea, and he talked me out of it.

you'll have custom trouble, not "normal" trouble along the way, hehe. If your just now reading maximum boost, you might want to just buy a kit, cause there is a lot of knitpicky crap along the custom kit way you'll get frusterated about probably. Unless you just have a lot of time and want to learn a lot of neat fabrication stuff :thumbsup

Yeah that pretty much me. I aleady know I'm going to have some problems along they way, but I think it will be fun anyways. Those are the kind of problem I will like to have. Plus I ave everyone on this board to help me out. Yeah, I'm just now reading maximum boost, but I do know quite a bit already. I just want to refresh myself and learn some more. I just need to lern more about making it as a whole kit, if ya know what I mean.
