I would definitely shy away from it simply because maybe the guy didn't know what he was doing, beat it up, etc. It looks nice, but you don't know what is going on. I wouldn't have a turbo'ed daily driver because of reliability issues. A/C would also be a problem on any turbo set up because lots of people remove the A/C components to make room for the turbo and the extra heat in the engine bay would not let your A/C run efficiently.

 

If you turbo a car the right way, it can be a perfectly fine daily driver.

 

This:




Also, you can still have A/C with a turbo setup, it just has to be A/C compatible. As for extra heat in the bay affecting the A/C... just use header wrap on your downpipe and get a turbo blanket for the turbo. I would also recommend a more powerful condenser fan.

 

Took the words right out of my mouth.

 

Big problem = 10 year project.As he has a huge parts list - who knows how old these components are, and how torn up they are. And turbo + nos = car running REEAALLL lean. Huge possibility for engine damage.
If this is exactly what you want, and you are willing to dump cash into it to keep it running, then by all means get it. But I DO see potential issues with this car.

 

First let me thank you for all your comments, I really appreciate them.
I totally understand what you guys are saying, and believe me, i wish i had the the money and knowledge to build a car like this, but being a student I don't yet. My budget is $5000 so it seems to make sense to take advantage of used because what this guy spent on it I could never afford new. I will look at the car, and get info while keeping in mind all your warnings. I'll post more info on it later. I will also get it checked out by a mechanic which will hopefully give me a better idea of the condition. Thank You!!
