KevinAccord, what trim turbo did u go with? And do you know the measurements of your intercooler? Also, what size piping did u get/ 2.5" or 3"? I'm trying to put a list together to start piecing together a turbo kit and I am going mostly by your list in the "need ur opinion on f23 turbo" thread. Thanks

well, bought an universalturbo kit from ebay... the turbo wasa T3/T4 hybrid (great turbine! very happy with it and very powerfull) , about the intercooler, i believe the measurements are: 28' x 7' x 2.5'.... , and about the piping, well, didn't do that yet since i haven't used my car a lot... just a bit... (waiting 4 the dyno!) but im planning on getting the 2.5" but i would preffer the 3" better, but I would have to make it myself, since the catbacks 4 our car's only come in a max or 2.5.... if u find a 3" catback 4 our cars let me know!!!!!!!!! well that's pretty much it... still thinking on doing some welding and making my own piping... but im really tired of making custom stuff 4 my car... i needsomerest!!!!! let me know if it was useful...

sorry I took so long 2 write back... my car was stolen but since it was not completly set, they couldn't take it far b4 it ran out of gas, found it 4 weeks l8r in an old farm about 30miles from where i live... thanksfully, the thieves where so stupid they only took my audio system, and didn't open the hood 2 see the turbo system, and could take the rims either(i can't believe they didn't feelorheard the system working!) well, need to do a little paint job first and some new tires...(they were flat and broken), l8r, ill take it 2 the dyno to get it set... will come back soon!
