You guys are sweet! Thanks thiggyperformance for the sites. Those bastards have stolen their last turbo kit... from me at least.
the reason is they stole everything off of my car. Injectors(and some clips because they didn't know how to take them off), boost gauge, FPR, BMC mani, turbo, oil drain but not the feed line , charge piping and intercooler. The funny part about it is they took my 88 dollar radio too. Good thing I took my Sony out before they got that oh and they took my dizzy. If I would have caught them stealing that I am pretty sure they would need a dentist.

I got mine at mcmaster.com, tri-grooved set, but thats mainly for small stuff. With a GPS unit in my car, all I worry much about is them popping in the car, ripping the stereo out, and running off. For the engine bay, the best solution is just to tack weld everything together. Tamper resistant bolts in 12mm and 3/8" aren't cheap, and easy to defeat if there's a nut on the other side, or they have a dremel. Welds are typically harder than the base steel around it, and chances are they'll try a wrench first and strip it, then try grinding.

The only real solution to eliminating under-hood theft is to have a canister or four of tear/nerve gas to go off when they open it up. GPS will help you track them, which helps for both official and vigilante justice, but the best you can do is hope to slow them down.

where the hell was your car that someone had the time to take off a whole turbo kit, it would have been far easier to steal the whole car.
