Upgrade

Got a friend who asked me to upgrade his 1997 GSX. Hes paying me to do some work on it and I want to upgrade the stock turbo kit. Where can I find an upgrade kit for the stock turbo?

Re: Upgrade

Re: Upgrade

Make sure you have enough upgrades so you don't choke the turbo

dont worry about the mods, i know this car can handle it. Ive had other people look at it and say its good to go. Those people have referred me to places where I can get upgrade kits, but I would like you opinions. So plz give me some places where i can get an upgrade kit.

Re: Upgrade

It's tough to give you opinions on what you should get for your car when you won't tell us what you already have! You said you've been working on the exterior, suspension and performance, so if you told us exactly what you have for performance mods than maybe we can give you exactly what you'll need!

How do you know?

I hate shit like this. Slap a Forced Perfomance Red on it, crank the boost up to 25 psi and haul ass...












...for 30 feet because you couldn't take 5 seconds to answer a fucking question so we can help you figure out a compatible turbo.

I'll warn the guys at FP to expect an asinine call. Let's see what happens when he pulls this "I'm not telling my mods" shit with them and asks for a turbo recommendation.
