    Welcome. Be careful with that 420a and do your homework before slappin a turbo kit on it. If you do everything right you should be pretty happy.

    don't run too much boost on that 420A or else you won't like the outcome....they aren't very lots-o-boost friendly engines...:/ just lettin ya know...and welcome!!!you should find IA to be very entertaining.
