There you go. The price is good right now. Put some shims in to drop the compression a little and do not over boost it. Clean it up and you are good to go. They do work! Note if you engine is weak it will fail faster. Just let your car idle for a few moments after running it hard under boost for the oil in the turbo to cool and the turbo to stop spinning.

Yep
Personally, I would build it, but I think that sort of thing is fun Why run a car without boost when you can run it with? |
