turbocharge and pick up chicks

[pnosker]

hahaha... nice, but what about Supercharging? There's the DASC which is popular. The reason Turbocharging isn't too popular is the low availability of manifolds as far as I know.

a manifold is being fabricated for me as we speak. should be done in a week or two

What kind of tuning are you going to use? I think tuning is the bigger issue than being able to find a manifold.

I'm guessing this is for the i6 swapped car that you have? Why are you going with a custom manifold when several companies make turbo manifolds for the m52..

I am amazed by the amount of people on this forum that are "building a turbo" for their car. I've personally never seen ANY proof that one has been completed....

You may be the first, good luck.

yeah, I'm with you, I'd like to see one completed and dyno-ed for comparisons.

DASC and engine swapping is just too easy around here.
