It looks like ---- huh? Well let's see your's. It better be sporting tuned equal length headers that you built, a mandrel bent equal length crossover/Y-pipe, and a full mandrel bent exhaust that you built. Talk ---- when your's is better.

Then, let's see you fit everything I did, in the space I had.

First, as I try to translate your run on sentences, misspelled words, and incorrect word usage into legible English....That was at 8.7psi. Do I need to explain why 417whp on 8.7psi is better than 434 at 17psi?

So your friend's delslow. Who the ---- cares? I've got a friend whose got a boss whose got a friend that's got a Lambo. Big ------- deal. Talking about what your friends have done, just makes you look all the worse. Let's see what you've done. But, for argument sake. How's the low end torque of that 1.8l? Do you think, maybe, if low end wasn't an issue that I would have chosen a different combination? And how's the daily driver capabilities? Does it pass state inspection? Emissions? Decibel readings? And how is the traction? Does he hook 434whp in 1st gear, with 215 tires? I do. Wait, sorry, only 417whp.

Can you read? There's been more than a few of us saying bad things about the piping. So you have heard (Heard, not herd), of bad things. Assuming you can read, which I'm doubting.

Dude what ever it is good luck with your project!

Best of. I'm sure it will work, but for how long, I can't see it being for very.

wow, american muscle huh? I cant believe you have time to sit on this forum and bitch and complain about what people are building. you think ur car is the ---- because you make that much power on 9psi, ok well look at the size and capabilities of your turbo compared to a garret t3/t4. anywhoo like you said you put ur 2cents in on your opinion on this abs or pvc piping, so why are you still insisting on ragging on these people who are budget building? and my car is not finished yet. When it is im looking at around 330whp and will have about 5k into the car, if that. and looks a ------- million times better compared to your sausage wagon!:

Pissing contest is over. You get to a point in life where you want things done correctly, not just so it works enough not to explode. I personally wouldn't use ABS, PVC or any type of plastic for a pressurized system anywhere in my car. Same goes for using heavy ass steel for the IC piping. Seriously, ebay has bead rolled piping for dirt cheap. it looks a thousand times better and you don't have to carry around bandaids and jbweld in case your home depot plastic pipes decide to take a ---- on you at 15psi.

I never said anything about american muscle. Seriously, it's a turbocharged, 24 valve DOHC V6, that's anything but american muscle. Of course your car isn't finished yet. Let's see what you have done.

5 grand? Holy ----. I don't have that much in mine. As for the looks, ok, I'll play. Let's see your car now.

update: upped the boost to as much my stock map sensor will let me run(10.8lbs i believe or w/e it is) 2k miles ago on the stock b18b. shits still holding and no signs of any problems. going to be tuning it to 15lbs with the straight t3 50 trim looking for 250hp or near it.

no complaints from me.

Using pvc is quite simply a complicated form of hacking, and as we all know or will find out, hacking leads to more problems in the end, it has no positive side, just short time pleasure. Dont hack, but Aaron, I am not a big fan of the whole Fiero body style and think it is rather tacky, but I must say that you have taken the tackiness out of it and I am glad to see you resisted and went with a more tasteful wing rather than the f1 style so many hondas believe look good. And to Mini, not hating on you and your opinion but his car is about as muscle as my Plymouth Laser turbo 4 cylinder is.

And to Aaron, great way of hiding some slicks in there, took me a little to realize it, about the only tell tale sign of your car being fast haha.

That wing is actually the stock GT wing! Most the Fieros were butass ------- ugly, but the later GT models were good looking IMO. On the outside, the only thing modified on that car are the exhaust tips, and window tint. The wheels, wing, everything else is stock. GM got it right the last year (88).

The tires aren't slicks, but at the time, I think they were bald enough to be considered slicks lol. I run stock 215 tires on it, I think I've got Yokohama's right now. The midmount drivetrain puts all the weight on the rear wheels, so traction is really good.

I do have a muscle car, but I didn't buy it for the power, my Fiero puts bus lengths on it.

Thats a good looking fbody, gotta love the ss to, I didnt realize that the late Fiero GT's actually looked decent, but regardless, the little things make it look better, good thing you dont have a body kit on it or anything, that makes any car look bad.
