    I don't understand how it would take a month to put a bolt-on turbo on, then have someone else finish it?

    Re: My civic was stolen :(

    we ran into a lot of problems and we were both still in school and working so we had very little time to do it. and we didnt put just a turbo on. we also put and up-pipe in, a new inlet tube, and it was either the oil return or feed line i cant remember. and you have to remember the cars not a dsm. its very hard to work on for somebody who has never done something like that before.

    It's still "bolt-on" parts man. They were designed for people with limited tools and knowledge to bolt in within a few hours.

    but like i said, we ran into a lot of problems...so we had to wait for parts to be shipped in.

    Muffdummy,

    No one is tuning anything, and if it cam down to it im about 100% sure i have collected enough knowledge that i could half way make somthing idle unlike them morons.

    Sherman you don't know your dick from your ass.. and either do the rest of them morons. Yea Jesse had to fix that POS thats for sure, because if he didnt it would still be sitting there to this day. Oh and btw.. The last time i went to work on a car, im prety sure i had the tranny out and back in within 2 and a half hours.. And the turbo on and off in 45 minn.. But what do i know... I know one thing.. I can "BOLT ON parts" lol!! Douche!

    BTW.. "WE HAVE LITTLE TIME" is not a good enough excuse... Because if you have no time you have no busniess doing shit with a shop. And i have had plenty of time to work and go racing ever since i turned 15! (Time is no excuse)
