Update 6-7-2011

I got my turbo back from Mike Turbo Inc. in Miami. I sent them my Vj14 and a Vj11 comp wheel and housing to make me a Vj11-14 Hybrid. They charged me 250.00 bucks to rebuild it and make a hybrid!

heres some turbo porn!

[sasquatch]

nice great job!!!

[Flyin4stroke]

I hope you have a secret on how you are gonna set the timing. That's why the cover is pretty essential. I wanted to remove mine also but couldn't because it has all of the marks on it. Helps too when you working on the motor with it's running which happens more than I would like. Those cam gears looks like they would eat a finger pretty quick. Need to throw up those pics of the car painted!!! Tell Rj to get moving on this thing. Needs to be ready for fm5 so we can have 5 turbo cars . That just sounds amazing. Lol

[skimsucka]

it will be done, if i start getting paid at my internship/ guaranteed job (its complicated) i might be driving something of the turbo sort as well , until then im robbing bums cups and hustlin festiva parts out. O yea and finishing m3ntals whip!
