What was the original turbos like that you got with the kit?
Were they plastic or no turbo at all?

I gotta get me one of these kits.

I really like the inlet, the turbine is a must!
Will you detail the oil lines/flange bolts etc.?
I'm assuming the parts have been polished and if they are it looks brilliant

Steve........


Instead of making the turbine (which would be awesome) for a realistic touch I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to grind out some HKS foam filter necks. You could use any sponge backing for the filter. All these guys running filterless turbos is playing with a blazing fire.

Another idea. You could make the turbine blades and the filter cages so you could display one on and one off.
