.......When the neighbor has an LS(whatever) sitting in his garage that he promises he could swap into anything in a weekend. He also promises that no feeeoooour cylinder can make real power like a 'merican V8.


Um...yeah....where's that turbo?

Where did my post go? I was trying to say why buy a turbo when you can buy the ebay TURBO SIMULATOR! It goes in your tailpipe and makes powerful turbo sounds. The harder you step on the gas the better your car sounds! I spent $400 on a 16G for nothing...

Dude...I just about choked to death on my Mountain Dew when I saw this!

My opinion...anyone with enough balls(or lack of? not sure) to wear that tat needs no turbo...none! :lol:

If you do... get the BOV sound generator to go with it! I think the glue on Brembo caliper covers would also be a nice touch. 4 pot look... pothead price ;)
