Home Depot or RONA (in canada), Metal pipes conduct heat faster, I like ABS for 3 reasons, it does not conduct bay temps as fast, its cheap and its easy to work with and you dont have to weld it

PVC is the white/blue ----, ABS is black and will be in the same isle as the copper water pipes. there is also nice ABS 90* bends, i'd go with ABS, 2"

Hey, that car looks familiar...oh, maybe because it's parked outside of my house.

Looking good. Now you just need to do something about that whole "turbo sprays oil" thing. ;)

Yea...

Here are a few gay pics of my car driving home from school... when the smoke got pretty shitty: (needless to say i'm a bit pissed)

I need to fix that... It may have been a number of things that killed my recently rebuilt turbo.
-oil pressure to high (just bought a restrictor)
-thing wasn't balanced to begin with when i got it- perhaps rebuilt by someone else (I know i didn't see either side shaved etc for balancing purposes.
-rebuilding just made it more out of balance and it killed itself
:-\

This problem was obviously not prevented with the addition of the shocker sticker.

And an interior pic... oh yea... look @ that tight ass guage cluster... red wOOt. Hopefully I can do a GSR/Si conversion on it.. that would be kinda cool. And rid myself of the baller cluster O0
