Kolby - Im thinkin about something that has same potential but for much less money. I LOVE my S4, but im sooo scared of a turbo going, or something along the lines of that. I mean if im gonna put 3 to 4k in my car, i dont want it to have to be on a stock part and crazy labor rates, but rather something thats gonna persuade me to hang onto the car, like stage 3! Also im moving out of the rents house in november so i wont have spare cash to put into the car. It just doesnt seem practical any more. P.S. your sig is SICK!

Turbo - Yea i definatly like the Evo 9, but most have been beaten up pretty well. I dont know too much about those cars either. Ill need to check out some forums or something. Got any links for me? I had a buddy who had a VR4 and he said he had nothin but problems, im not a big fan of those anyway.Ill probably go with eitheran Evoor an S2k and slap a bt on it.Im trying to lean more torward reliablility withouthaving high labor and part costs.You should look for a evo for me!!I know how good you are at finding **** online.
Also if your gonna go bt, that mean youll have get new fueling, new tuning, new intercooler, new clutch...etc, to getyour moneys worth outta the turbo.I would absolutly love to see you go bt, but its gonna cost ya. I hate to say it...

the ic should be ok for now, as well as the clutch, for now.... plans are to get a turbo kit with tuning/fueling and run on my clutch till i can upgrade..... or get a turbo run an mcb then get clutch and tunning......... we will see when i get to that part


i will keep my eye open

Gotcha. I'd be paranoid, too.

And thanks; I like that picture, too.

i should sell to the highest bidder... but i cant be a complete ***, just half of one

Why do you suggest Vast's piggies instead on HTP's? They both make them the same way. Ill probably go through HTP cuz they only charge $225 for parts and labor which is like $400 cheaper than Vast for just the pipes.

the reason i recommended it, is because i am sure with his car being so new he doesn't wanna be down more than half a day without his car.......

and i know matt can be booked pretty good and not be able to do things for a while

also when i typed that i had totally forgot about matt doing it[:@] me was tie-red

Do you have tuning? I think without tuning you should be fine, but i know with my apr there might be some complications. About the custom pipes, if your talking about gettin custom down pipes made.. 1.I dont think any muffler shop can make you those 2. If they can, i bet itll be exspensive!! Better off buyin some.
