Not anymore, had the Greddy but after I rebuilt my motor and went to low compression, I needed to get a bigger turbo. So I went with a 60-1.

I love the Red Copper color, it is absolutely beautiful!

ITs a custom setup w/ a Precision Turbo 60-1. The rims are 5Zigens 18X8.5 F and 18X9.5 R. I really wanted to go with 17s but I couldn't find the ones I wanted so I went with these in 18s. I love the way your 19s look! Tires are Azenis RT-615s and they are amazing :P

Cool, your son has good taste I don't do any of the work except for the easy bolt on stuff, I would not venture into the motor. I'm having a local rotary shop do the work.
