    Is it worth it????? upgrading to MPS

    Modifying a car generally decreases it's value... Also, a speed "conversion" would be the same motor you have now but with the crappy callaway turbo kit.

    Yes! Voided Warranty

    Is it going to cost more to hire an attorney and fight this in court than to just fix the car yourself? A turbo is only a few hundred bucks usually.

    tinted gauges-what do you think?
