Ha, we KNOW whats goin on in Alex's garage. No such luck in mine though. I did clean it and sort some tools out though. So what is your goal for ETA on finishing that turbo setup??

NICE! Are you going custom or kit for the turbo? What are your goals? Good luck with the build!

Greater "everyday" power. The s/c had great power when you had your foot in it but was less than ideal for low rpm's. The constant whine of the blower got to me.

Don't get me wrong, the s/c was GREAT. It made driving the stock S feel like something was missing. When I was in LA/Vegas I got a chance to check out a couple turbo S's and i was

The turbo is just so much more civil. It is seriously quieter than stock and will pull hard from anywhere over 3k. You don't have to downshift to get instant power. When I got back I had a PM waiting about a Lovefab kit from one of the guys out there and I jumped on it.

Congratulations Folex,

I am really curious to hear your report after the install is complete.

I will post some updated pics tomorrow night or monday. I have seen these kits installed and working and they are amazing. Picture the s2000 sounding stock with insane power that starts at 3k...

I'm still looking for my garage, I seem to have misplaced it.
Well before the end of the year I may have my HT, or a Turbo setup, or if Folex wants to let go off his Comptech for alittle less, maybe a S/C...


I have some credit burning a hole in my pocket... Maybe the smart thing to do would be nothing!!
You only live once though.
