    As far as I know:
    underrated (I4)
    leicoolya (V6)
    VTEC Killer (Evo Swap)

    There was another guy with a green I4 in california, but not sure if he was at TGC, but I think he sold it.

    As we found out here in Vegas, that really wasnt AK1's Galant.

    DJ Galant had a turbo 8G, no longer running boost though, the car was "stolen"

    Is it legal in the US to slap a turbo in there?

    Here in Sweden you'd have to tear it out once every year for the yearly check-up (stipulated by law, don't know the word for it) ... but if you don't pass on all checks you're not allowed to drive the damn car ... and turbo is a BIG no-no.

    Ya no doubt.

    Soooo wandering, why dont you enlighten us to your turbo setup. Don't lie! I've seen you lurking around the Club3g forums (which PWN the fuck out of neweclipse for turbo info). Don't think I havn't seen your footprints in the same threads I inevitably visit as well. lol So what you got planned? And when you gonna add yourself to that list?

    Have the Donald Ely Turbo Kit on order, along with a 3" custom catback to match the setup. I haven't really said anything as I still don't have the kit in hand, but I have been in good communication with Donny's distributor Keith at All Performance Plus - my kit is pretty much ready, but they are still waiting for the turbo from turbonetics, which is obscenely backordered - my distributor is looking for an alternative to the turbonetics turbo so he can get the kit to me as soon as possible.
