    saw this video on club3g

    with all the new turbo builds going on lets remember *do not rush your build* ...yes boosting our car is relatively easy to do but you should not cut corners just to have a turbo on your car

    there are at least 5 things wrong with the car in that video and its just not worth it to ruin your car... you should not even turn the car on in a state like that


    *i am by no means making fun of that member cuz my first setup was not pretty either*

    the whistle you hear is open o2 housing lol i drove it to the exhaust shop down the street like that haha it was lots of fun

    Ya that doesn't sound too good. It definately looks like a "homemade" cheapo turbo kit.

    True, i will take heed of the warning. I don't wanna blow up my engine or have any kind of leaks whatsoever. That why i'm trying to get all the good reliable parts i need for the build. Not gonna be cheap either :(
    I think the hard part for my build is the misc. fittings that i have to have for my turbo. Still gotta get gaskets, lines, etc.
