why the heck are you unemployed--man that production was great----well really really good

Never heard of anyone loosing their job THEN put a turbo on??Lol.
Who did your hood---is it the oem hood modified?
you have the 09 diff in it?
really sweet looking car.
If you are boosting to 18 lbs---it will not last long??

I had already bought the parts,what was i supposed to do ? take them back?
Who did your hood---is it the oem hood modified? i did, bought a pair of fiberglass vents, cut off the oem hood ,glue them with epoxy and off to the paint shop
you have the 09 diff in it?
really sweet looking car. Thank you very much kind sir

Actually didn't last long,it broke down but not what you would think.When i was testing it to 18psi the plate at the front rotor cracked and was leaking oil,so i replaced it and tight the motor a bit more.
