Traveling to Salt Lake City

[Jeph]

I need to fund my turbo...

 

[snowman4us]

do u have any money save up yeat?
howmutch are u asking for them?
i got an exaust leak in my exaust manifold and its not covered under waranty, so ill be getting some headers soon, onse this groupe buy order is in...

 

[Jeph]

I have everything sitting in my room except for the turbo itself... intercooler, gauges, piping, exhaust manifold, even a greddy EGT. just waiting for spring. I'll sell you both my springs and my injen for 270

 

[snowman4us]

i just barely got an intake like 4 days ago...lol

are u going to put the kit on yourself or have someone do it for you...what kit are u using? or are u just making ur own mix?
how mutch just for the springs?

 

[Jeph]

I have mosly parts from a spool stage 3, tubular manifold and intercooler one. I bought a tial wastegate instead of the delta one that the spool kit comes with. If you know where i can get a T3 turbo cheap let me know...
How about 160 for the springs? I was asking 170 for them in my thread, but figure since you're local i wouldn't have to ship them.

 

[snowman4us]

how about a WRX TURBO...i could get one for preaty cheap if you want.

 

[Jeph]

If it will bolt up to my manifold...

 

[snowman4us]

im not sure if it whould or not...try to find out, becouse i know allot ofWRX owners that have upgrated there turbos..

 

[Jeph]

Yeah try to find out what flange it has on it, and if its the same as a T3. If it is, i'd buy it for sure, because it would run plenty of boost for my setup right now.

 

[snowman4us]

im pritty sure that they dont...now that i think of it...

 

[Jeph]

Yeah thats what i'm thinking too. No way will it mate with my manifold. But hell no harm in trying. Think about those springs

 

[snowman4us]

well im gitting those headers so the are going to drain my funds...but if i had another 160 i whould be all over them

 

[Jeph]

So you're not going turbo huh?

 

[snowman4us]

im going to keep my car for maby 2more years...ill get out of mechanic(sp?) school and hopefully buy an STi....

 

[snowman4us]

i just think that the protege is a week platform to do anything to.
cant swap engine for bigger ones, and the trannys suck ass. i just dont even want to deal w/ it and just rather wait a little bit and just get a nice car.

 

[Jeph]

I agree, but i plan on having my car for a few more years, so i'd like it boosted while i have it, nothing super fast, just something to give me a rush when i hit the gas. I want a hardtop mazdaspeed miata when they come to the states.

 

[snowman4us]

that whould be dope...i want the STi wagon when it comes out hear............
