Re: modify/upgrade 3000GT

Love a Kevin Smith fan. Check out our FAQ, it's a good place to start. There's an NA upgrade bible, also a section on putting on a supercharger, and a part on turboing it. TT conversion parts would be about the same that you would need for a single turbo...except hte single would be a bit more involving..because you would need to get custom manifolds made.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.

Re: modify/upgrade 3000GT

My parents got me that book, I allready know allmost everything in it though but it would be a good read for you I think. Other than that your at a good place to begin asking questions ane learning about your car and what you can do to make it better.

Having a fast car is not a crime! Nothing that is a personaly liberty should be prevented by law, so say I..
