10psitc has a 20g mitsu turbo. Shain's turbo is a blown
DSM piece of sh*t lol - equal in size and trim, but build
quality makes the huge difference. Also I bought shains
turbo brand new for $350. The whole kit cost me $1800 and
ran amazingly on 7.3psi for a year without a tune. Moral
of the story? buy a turbo timer.

You can't compare price to price - you have to compare
kits and their components.


exactly, my turbo brand new is a grand. before clipping and wheel swaping. closer to 1400 at the end.

turbo

then you have the pwr liquid to air kit. again front mount is much cheaper, but you get better cooling, nothing visible and something completly custom. around 700 new for the kit, plus piping and welding. close to 1k for that setup.

yeah, every time you go somewhere, let your car run for 2
minutes after you park, before you get out.

Good way to save $100....or you could just buy a damn timer
lol.

Buy any DEI remote start.  They all have built in turbo timers.  Cheaper too.

Nothing compared to the Fire Breathing Civic.  91/93.  BEAT THAT!  I have the dyno sheet, but it's hard to read because I was wasted and found it in my front yard the next day.  Don't forget to get a NOS timer.  You'll run 9's with one.
