I really don't know what to say about this setup. I'm baffled. The snail looks to be real (not one of those dumb electric things), but other than that, it looks like this guy just popped it together any way he could until he had forced induction. i guess, but I would never do that to my baby.

Trust kit all the way

Yeah, Greddy has been in my sights for a while now. No, I probably won't upgrade the turbo. Big power gains aren't my goal with my JDM SOHC, especially since I live in CA. (Intend to get it BARed and make it my fun lil grocery getter)

If I'm in the mood for a cheap, powerful turbo car, I'll upgrade to an LS engine when/if the time comes.

Look at this stupid *******. He's using an MSD RPM switch to activate his VTEC....Biggest ****** rig I've ever seen in my life.

If this douche cant even use the right ECU then why would he properly use a turbo??? What a moron.
