Hey hey now I drive a ford too and will take it over a chevy lol

[Adrians89MR2SC]

lol .. didnt mean it like that ..

i was tryin to say you cant talk crap or argue about something you havent even owned / used before ..

and yea, i'd probably take your ford over my camaro .. haha ..

[mr2gq]

Lol im jk I love chevy also. Hell I used to hate anything that wasnt chevy. Now im a little older I appreciate just any car thats reliable and has power. But I would take a new corvette z06 over just about anything. Even a viper

[Adrians89MR2SC]

if the corvettes werent bad on insurance i'd be getting a loan right now ..

they do 20-28 mpg .. and there pretty darn fast ..

just the insurance kills it ..

you can pick up a slightly used 02' z06 for around $18 - $20K

It wouldn't be worth it with insurance. Especially if you're sub 25. You may as well throw money out the window.

No 00+ vette gets 28 mpg. 26 maybe with only highway driving. Average I'd say 20-22.

The place I bought my 03 Impala from sells mostly Vettes. Beautiful ones too. Don't think they have one for 18-20k.... Not there at least. The owner told me they only buy/sell the best. You could probably get an 02 for 18-20k. I wouldn't buy it. It was probably anally raped from day 1.

I've been looking into this kit as well for some time now. I was just looking at their site and they actually have a sale right now for the same turbo kit minus the manifold for only $275 shipped-

Monthly Specials Performance Racing Products for International Sales from SSAutochrome Inc.

Hey guys I'm only about 35 minutes from the summit off 75, I'd like to see that kit as well after you get it all broke it.

These threads are always too funny.

Usually the buyer admits that the manifold is garbage, the wastegate is no good and needs to be replaced and the downpipes often cause issues. BUT the $200 turbo, noone ever seems to want to admit that the turbo likely follows the same pattern. How can you go wrong for $200, right?

the vette s do get far better gas milage on the hwy then u seem to believe, look it up. It one of chevys best gas milage getting vehicles

its missing the downpipe and the manifold .. but the other parts are the same .. so for another $125 you get a manifold / downpipe

as for being in ATL .. AWSOME .. me and mr2gq both got red 91 turbo's with the SS t3/t4 kit ... if all goes well we might have three .. hahaha ..

when the summit racing monday night car shows start back up, we need to get a mr2 club / meet type thing going ..

there are a couple others on here that are in the area too ..

(and you mean broke IN right, haha .. broke it, i allready see it coming .. you screwed it for all of us now damnit .. haha )

Get that kit, its so advanced you dont need to run an oil filter.

[mr2gq]

Hmmm its funny my wastegate is fine and my turbo along with everything else. If something screws up ill be the first to post about it. As of right now I have no complaints. You ever think that maybe sometimes its installer error as to why something is leaking or F's up??? Like maybe the dumb azz doesnt know to prime the turbo before you install it, or you can't go one after the other when tightening a exhaust bolr and maybe thats why there shiot has a exhaust leak?? I bet 50% of the time when I comes to things like these along with installing motors ect ect and its brand new and breaks, its installer error.

let's get some pics of your setup

[mr2gq]

Ok ill try and get some up by this weekend cause hopefully im going to get my exhaust done sat and ill post the pix of that as well.

[Adrians89MR2SC]

here, i took some pics the other night .. there not that great since it was at 9:00 at night but im uploading them ..

as for that xs kit, its the same kit as the SS .. but the pic is wrong with the adapter .. the wastegate comes off the dowpipe (theres a whole in the turbo before the turbine)
