All winter it's been down. 22 days and counting until I turbo again... this time with a REAL turbo, not SSAC crap.

The waiting is killing me

anyone on this board who's seen the evolution of my shitbox knows i miss my turbo honda at least 3 times a year lol. sad thing is... i just recently sold it ALL after cracking a sleeve in my last motor. EVERYTHING gone. i went from a blox/60-1/3" turboback setup on 95 ls with a gsr tranny and 3 puck clutch, now to a lowly stock 01 LS motor... stock header, dc sports catback, stock clutch. i haven't told anyone because i try to hide it but i feel depressed although driving the car is sooooo comfortable. if i had the $$$ i'd buy a beater and build that but it ain't happening anytime soon. so i'm suffering.

cliffs: my name is Marc, former honda boostaholic currently in boost with drawal therapy.

I brought mine out of storage in the beginning of April....it was 5 long months of no boost...I was getting to the point to where a stock 1.8t VW felt fast!

Now my car is back and I'm happy.

Last week, I did the unthinkable....I sold all the parts to my turbo setup. Finally got fed up with all the problems I had to deal with the past 2 years. The only thing I have left to show of my LS-t hatch is the car itself and photos. A cracked cylinder wall (#3), crank walked, scarred bearings, (3) damaged oil pumps, cracked piston, engine dropped (due to missing motor mount bolt) and (6) "roll-back" drop-offs finally pushed my very last button for me to call it QUITS. Honestly, I still want to have a turbocharged Honda, but damn...as of right now, I don't want one....considering all the **** I have endured. And now I have to resort to driving a stock SiR B16 in my hatch....for the time being. Two words ---&gt; Time Out!! LOL

My EG hatch (w/96 front) before turbo removal.
