    whatever you do be sure it is held to the turbo reallllllllly well, if you dont it will suck it in and there goes the new turbo.

    look forward to it. be careful with the big setup and get some wide tires for traction. good luck

    unless your already single your going to need a lot more parts than just a turbo.

    Also run a filter, Those guys with the wire screen your talking about dont drive the car a lot. That screen is to keep out rocks, or bolts, bugs... so all the dirt that a filter stops if going right in that turbo...
