I'm still scratching my head...

I just don't understand why?

I saw this a few weeks ago and if I remember right, he said he was only runnin like 5.5lbs of boost.

I don't understand why you would put two turbos on there and run that little boost...

I guess to each his own...

Nope-


It says it all right in the post -

"Alright, lets get the story straight on this kit. This kit was not SPECIFICALLY to prove people wrong/build it just to look good/just to say I could. I built this becuase I was on a budget. This is my daily driver to get me from point A to point B. The cost of a T3/T4 is around $400. I build this entire kit for $347.00 total minus the fuel mods. This price includes both turbos, oil lines, coolant lines, piping for the header, downpipes, charge pipes, heat wrap, intercooler core, 10lbs of welding wire, 30lbs of argon/Co2 ect. One *** clown (onefastegg) tried to make the argument that if this was a budget kit than I should have only used one turbo. Well, I wanted a budget kit that would actually build boost and not cut out in the higher RPM's. Anyways love it or hate it this is my kit, I'm glad I built it, I enjoy building so the time I spent building it (2 weeks) was actually fun. And how many people can say their daily driver is a Honda Civic with a twin turbo vtec motor with a direct port nitrous kit that costs under $3,200?"

it is not specofically built to prove people wrong. but that was on eof the reasons.

it spools liek a t3/t4 on a d15. got on it and had 4.4 psi at 4k. but it melted all 4 spark plugs so hes waiting on fuel needs. i wouldnt make fun of this guy, id like to see some of you do it yourself.

on h-t its like you have to have everybody else's setup to not get flamed on...
