I've had very good luck on Corral. Just buy stuff from those with plenty of feedback and that have been around for a while. I've seen plenty of low use turbo kits (pony down, B&G, ptk) going for very nice prices. There is always a deal to be had. I've sold a lot of stuff on there for steals just to get it out of my garage.

What kind of power does he put down?....did he run it yet?....Mine is getting installed right now cant wait to get it back...Hopefully i make some decent power,and get into the 11's
Well there's always the buy gently used stuff off corral route.. seems to have worked so far.
Half the stuff on my car came from there.
And as far as the turbo forums go, I really only read in junkyard tech and the build threads. Some of those guys build awesome setups for dirt cheap. They really are "elitists" as it was put earlier. I still think its a good source of info there.

lol so sad and true. I want a turbo something fierce, but I regularly hang with 302,331 and 351 turbo guys and for one reason or another they are all on engine #2 and spent a ton of times on jackstands.
It's a joke from a local forum I'm on. Most people who decide to do a turbo build end up never finishing the build or leaving it to sit on jackstands for an extended period of time while they accumulate parts or save money. Others are on a 2nd engine, etc...
So, anytime someone posts a classified ad on this local forum for a turbo car, we always ask if jack stands are included

Haha there's not a turbo within a mile of my house and the car is on jack stands anyway. Maybe its the anticipation of someday putting one on?

I have an extra pair of jack stands I'll give you in 8 years when you get your car back
Thanks...there almost done with the motor work..heads,timing chain are done intake going back on..then the turbo install...Oh they did the fuel pump already..they have to re-locate the meth injection set-up IE pump..and tank to trunk...and i was still speed density they have to convert it over to MAF..I supplied them with all the parts...except for a few things they might need which they will get...So basically i will hopefully have a turn key car when i pick it up...

on3 kits are great setups! They fit great, no cracking. I would buy one. The worst one I have put on was a boost brothers kit and it still fit pretty well.
