RE: $16000 turbo
and the quote i posted earlier about the chip.. i responded to it but it didnt show up. i asked how the install was on a chip? and i assume i'd need a really good tune after that.. anybody know?
if u do decide to get the chip get the REVO brand chip. they are alot more popular and one of the best from what i heard.

my friend took his computer to a performance shop and they shipped it out to neuspeed. when it came back all he did wasplug it back into the car. no tuning is needed.

its all stock. the intercooler is just behind the right fender. i was lookin at it tonight. i cant see the whole system. it doesnt seem to make sense to me. the turbo is in the back of the engine.. (close to the firewall) like 3 feet from the exhaust manifold... it probably has everything to do with me knowing nothing about turbo.. but i thought the turbo was bolted to the turbo manifold (which replaces your header..?) the exhaust manifold goes down from 4 tubes comin off the head to 1 tube that goes straight into the intercooler which then goes back and into the turbo.. is it just different because its a factory boost? cuz it seems to contradict everything that ive read about turbo. haha. im going to get some pictures tomorrow.. its too late tonight.

Looks good man...real clean and new looking...my homie has a neuspeed chip in his audi 1.8t and it didnt make a realdifference until he got an intake so you might want to do intake and exhaust first before the chip if you go that route
