Default Turbo deliema...UPDATE

Ok heres the situation. I was explaining to my parents my plans on boosting and such. They never had problems with me doin ---- to my car before, I have a bunch of bolt ons. But when I told them about piecing together a turbo, they were like NO. And I cant really say too much to them since they still make the car payment. So today my old man comes to me and tries to make me a deal (he knows a thing or 2 about imports too, shitty) he said If I would buy a "realiable" kit meaning name brand ie greddy, edelbrock, turbonetics, he would front me the money I needed to buy it (i have $1100 and he would front me $1200) and, and only have to pay him back $50 a paycheck. I dunno tho im kinda stuck, what do you guys think?

do it!
those kits arent bad as long as you use some good FM.

you are getting a brand new turbo and a good manifold with that deal.

HAHAH tell that to my friend who still owes 5k on his car and put a HMT kit on and blew his engine (10pounds on a FMU). Sounds like your kind of in the same boat as me, so do as i do slap a HMT kit on there anyway
