Find the liquid metal Terminator. Hold up a turbo because he can only copy what he's seen. Then have him crap one out. Viola!

easiest way to turbo your colorado is to change out your muffler berrings they are kinda expensive (especially the ones that las 10k miles the regulars only last 5k miles)
they are like $9-12 depending on how menny you need
then i would say buy a bounch of "turbo" brand octane boosters (to compensate for the new berrings) and also run 50% diesel 25% 87octane and 25% milk but orange chicken can be substatuted in for the milk in a pinch

then get quintupple tipped (thats 5) magneseium spark plugs and get an exhaust header from this awsome company called ssautocrome
they are by far the best name out there
and you may need to get rid of the stereio ( you see the radio uses electricity but if you have the radio on the trubo won't have enought power to spool upand make a full 80psi of boost so you won't have the 650hp you want) oh and if you want annother 35-50hp go on ebay and get an electric turbo/supercharger

also adding on steel wheels will free up 5-6hp (tho some 22" chrome wheels with spinners are liter than the stock wheels so it will be faster)



and we need pics

This is the Fab forum, but this post doesn't really belong anywhere. Do research.
