Default I Miss Boost!!!!!!

I MISS BOOST!!!!!!!! My car is sitting in the garage on jack stands, pieces everywhere coolant and oil smudged on the floor..... Just waiting for its beloved t3/t4e garret hybrid with .50ar compressor and .63 turbine to get put back in her so she can be willingly fed..... I took it off because it needs a rebuild, typical seals and bearings and clean it up, nothing major. Sent it out to majestic turbo.

(Anyone sent their turbo to majestic? If so how much did it cost for a seal/bearing/balancing rebuild...?)

Driving my moms 92 camry just isen't cutting it, it sucks HORRIBLY, taking turns I feel like I'm gonna flip over (normal turns mind you), can barely get on the highway.... and only the left side speakers work...

I just had to vent how much I miss, need, love, need, miss, love boost!

Nah, waste of money and I don't want holes in my trunk.... I like it, deal with it.

And suspention... well have money that has to go elsewhere MUCH more then into springs/camber/alignment/shocks.... more like 5spd, hondata, more tuning....

I *HAD* to laugh when I read this... My scenario:

My car is sitting in the garage on jack stands, with oil on the floor... waiting for my beloved Mitsubishi TD04H-15G to get back put in her so she can be willingly fed. I took it off because it needs a rebuild, typical seals and bearings and clean it up, nothing major. Took it to Turbo City in Orange.

$275 for a rebuild, 24hr. turnaround.

I'm driving my mom's 94 Camry, and forgot that fact when commuting thru the canyons... damn near pushed, then drifted into oncoming! Got cut off by a frickin F350 as the 125hp Camry does 0-60 in around 11.9 seconds... my friend's car can cover 1/4 mile in STOCK form in that time!

So yeah, I feel your pain! Just hang in there!

ONE MORE DAY.....
