or there's always nitrous :wink:

Personally I wouldn't bother investing in a D15b7 for long term performance unless you can piece together a junk yard turbo for cheap.

- Fri Jun 13, 2008 12:40 am #58292 figure out how much it's gonna cost you and you'll gain ~30 HP from the swap (depending on head & compression)
Then take that money, add a little more for a home made turbo setup and you'll make way more power.

mini-me = more reliable though
