    shop sounds a bit fishy??? unless you are long time friends with them no shop just meets a customer and says you know what?? Ive never seen a boosted 2.0 ef before were gonna cut you a deal.... as far as the turbo thing goes id wait so you can get QUALITY parts because if you only make 9 bucks a hour i doubt the turbo kit is top notch unless your cc is maxed out at this point. Go slow man dont rush it that way it will pay off in the long run

    you gotta be careful with that "FRIENDS" thing ppl take advantage like that they think cause they are cutting you a deal they can take all the time in the world i stay away from the friend hookups just for that reason. I'd rather pay someone who knows what they are doing and get my car back in a timely fashion with QUALITY parts trust me a turbo is nothing to go cheap on or a motor for that matter.

    Well you didn't have to drive all the way down there for those parts.... because I'm parting out my frontend hatch end. maybe someone else will by it




    Anyways what are you going to do about the hood clearance? Or are you getting the mounts the sit the oil pan damn near on the ground. H22s in a EF are a ***** to install and you have to choose hood or ground clearance.
