with all the recent people getting out of the turbo scene, i wanted to see a list of who all has been deboosted in the past, say, 3 months?
i'll start

TenaciousC

 

wtf? i posted this in FI. can a mod please move it for me? thanks

*moved by request*

 

GSRwBOOST checkin in.

Two weeks ago pulled it off...
One week ago sold all of it...
Last weekend got rid of the car...

 

i know mods like art dont want to see threads like this but i dont think they should be locked. truth is turbo is not all fun and games, there is so much to consider between cost and maintenance. i am looking forward to the experience nonetheless, but if we can help someone who gets in over their head cause they got boost fever, but ulitimately ends up selling the kit or hurting their car, then we should look at the bad and the good.

 

WELL PUT JOE..

 

yeah it was definitly fun and i dont regret it at all. just sometimes things acome along in life that are more important than cars, its all about priorities

 

You can say that again!!!

 

had baby, needed smaller car payment. pulled turbo of and sold all parts, now selling car. purchased nissan 240 for 500bones and the motor for 2500. when its all said and done ill have the same money in mods in the nisan as my civic but no car payment

 

I deboosted about 4 months ago, I just sold the whole car. I got like 45% return on what I put into it

Since then the new owner has had Hondata problems, he had to replace the tranny (LS) and he is now rebuilding the motor.

But I am planning on a return next year I got my Thermal catback installed today! Good Lord it's LOUD!

 

Its not the threads that bother me, it when people post the exact same thing on the same page. If you notice I did leave one thread open. But I am locking this one.
