    Default Turbo Kit on the way

    Well.. I finally ordered a Greddy turbo kit for my Carmen.. I spoke with the nice man at NOPI and he said it should be here by thursday or friday.. Now I gotta get gauges and new bolts and stuff cuz the greddy supplied ones are crap.. And now i get to sink all my money into upgrading the kit (intercooler, BOV, fuel upgrades, ect.) I was really hopin to be able to have it ordered and on the car before my 18th birthday.. but.. seeing as how thats today .. Not gonna happen.. :ncool:

    Alrighty.. the plan so far is to start on it Saturday after work.. and finish sunday if needed.. I'd instal it as soon as i get it however I work 6 days a week and sunday's my only day off and what better way to spend my only day off than instal a turbo kit on my baby Carmen?

    Check out are gauges and gauge kits at Track Dog Racing. Good luck in your new setup and when you are redy for an intercooler we need a new Greddy prototype as our first setup got smashed before we had a chance to duplicate it.

    I have a very nice Starion IC and the pipe kit made for the Greedy if you want to go IC. The pipe kit has never been used and the IC has been cleaned & pressure tested.

    The way crna2be has been looking for parts, there might be a tech day soon for him. (or a ground up restoration!)
