uhhhhhhhh.....me? actually i lie....i was 20 when i installed my kit. the only thing that i learned from it was not to buy an eBay turbo.

and no, mother didn't pay for crap, it was all me broski....but i am awesome in every way so my account with boosting doesn't even count.

i'm 22 and put together mine.

and i thought the first rule of thumb for boost, was not to boost on a budget?

i'm not trying to add fuel to the fire, but thats what 99% of people on here say. and they say it for good reason.

You must be awesome in every way! Only 20 and you could not only afford a $20k new car and the $5k to boost it but you already knew everything except which turbo to buy. I am impressed. I'm 47 and I still learn new things every day. Sometimes I long for the days of my youth when I too knew everything...
