you have a really clean set up so far , but whats with the crappy turbo kit? and what looks like a used clutch?

I am not saying that b/c its not jdm or ne of that crap but they are just low quality, chinese, knocck off junk that doesn't belong on such a nice car, or any car for that matter

nice start to a clean car. to save you in the long run... that stg 1 isnt gonna hold any power. just buy a new 4 or 6 puck disc (~$100) and use that pressure plate you have there. also you have such a clean car i wouldnt ruin it with that ebay turbo setup. mani, down pipe, turbo...

Thanks. this is my first build and i'm not trying to make a ton of power. It was a good deal and I figured I'd install this and slowly upgrade to better parts.

Thanks, i'll look into that 4 puck. I wasn't looking for top quality parts. Just a mild setup around 5-6 psi.
