Unique means $$$$. My savings is being used to increase my investment portfolio as this becomes a top priority when you reach my age

I just assumed from the above posts you thought there were not many turbo civic setups around. I was just pointing out that there are quite a few. You will find alot of them dont really post, they are not as attention seeking as the JDM boys.

Investing is smart, but it isnt fun. When i dump 20k into a car, i dont expect anything back except a great fat smile. Oh and girls. Fast loud cars get your honeys.

I guess Weq u shouldn't quit, in fact u could be unique or different by going an alternative route from what you've been seeing? Supercharger? Twin charger? Twin turbo? =)

Uniqueness was the first thing that attracted me to turbo civics. Everything has been done before. Twin charged, twin turbo, supercharged. There are simple formulas that the americans follow with results garenteed. These days you have certain turbos for certain trap speeds. We are shockingly behind here. No research or development. All workshops do here is copy (albeit badly)..

Once again my heart can start bounding. Tim has positioned the Nissan turbo and installed the water cooling lines( see the extra lines ). Wastergate has also been modified. This setup is much better and more reliable than the previous one.
