Ok, i can do it....but do i want to do it? I can start right now and by christmas end up with all the little extras.....but is it worth it? I mean it's just an ST, but how badass would it be to have a 200hp ST? I think it'd be sweet specialy with a 5-speed. What kind of turbo's should I look at? Aint no thing to get it in my car cause i have a garage to work at. But should I even think about doing it? better yet is it truelly possible to just get the turbo in a running for 2000 or less. I'm not talking about the controlers and timers and injectors...those come for christmas. So let me know what you guys think. Anyone wanna help lol?

i would have to agree with that. the first weekend i started work it took friday afternoon, all saturday and all sunday to get everything on and do something for IC piping. then the turbo and manifold came off till the next weekend becuase i wanted the least amount of downtime and the guy that was going to make my DP was busy lifting trucks till the next weekend 2nd weekend i got everything on the car with a temp DP and drove around at 3-4psi tueday after, i had the dp made. 3rd weekend was devoted to fixing the little problems. which is still going on. the work never ends with custom stuff like this. give me 45min and i can make my car NA again(give me 3 hours and the car will be 100% stock under the hood). give me a day and all the parts and i can make another ST(and probably a different car) turbo, running great with almost no problems in two days. first day for the install, second to check everything and work out what ever problems there may be. nothing beats the feeling that good experience gives you. for example, of 3500 students at my school, i am one of two that has turboed an NA car. and the other kid had a full kit and a machine shop to work in. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
