which city of minnesota are you from?

I was just in Brooklyn Park for the last month!

 

[thenickster5792]

lol sweet! you should hit Meltman and I up the next time you come to Chicago. I'd love to take a look at your teg.

 

[thenickster5792]

sexyyyyy!!!!

I can't wait until I have enough money to start piecing together my own turbo kit.

 

[thenickster5792]

who'd you get the kit from and how much was it? (if you don't mind me asking) and where are you getting her tuned at? I heard you guys have several really good tuning shops near the Twin Cities.

Although I could get a kit, I'm cheap... and asian. So eventually I'll pick up most of my turbo-pieced-together-kit from spoolin' performance, tial products, evo injectors, SRE piping, and the ebay 3" exhaust. I've priced it out and it should be around $2k.

 

[thenickster5792]

haha, i had a feeling it would be MAP, I had a conversation with an Evo owner at a bbq while I was living in Minnesota and he said the honda guys around really like MAP for tuning.

 

[thenickster5792]

as much as i hate to say it i was thinking about using a blox cast manifold and peice together a very similar kit.

I've done a TON of research on turbo manifolds, the only one I could find that would allow AC, PS, usage of an external wastegate, full size radiator, and a 3" downpipe is the spoolin' performance log manifold.

Otherwise a GReddy kit allows you to keep everything too, but at the cost of a very restrictive downpipe.

EDIT: We should probably stop hijacking Silvia's build thread.

[thenickster5792]

[thenickster5792]

I could've sworn I might've seen you getting off an exit on the high way today. (I'm in minnesota)

 

[thenickster5792]

I got in town on monday afternoon and I'm staying until Monday, but I'm super busy

I'll be in Bloomington the next few days, are your tail lights completely all red?

 

[thenickster5792]

[thenickster5792]

[thenickster5792]

[thenickster5792]

[thenickster5792]

whoa! you've got your own paint booth too? I'll definitely hit you up when I'm in Brooklyn Park, my front bumper could use a respray haha

edit: I've seen some pictures from friends of how bad the snow is in Minnesota. Jeez, it looks like it's the middle of winter for you guys. I guess we've been lucky with a week's worth of rain here in Chicago.
