I boosted off an offramp... having fun. As soon as i stopped... chug,chug,chug,chug. Rolled down the window to smell the sweet...

    I need help finding good places for a ct26 turbo.

    I searched and didn't find much. I saw driftmotion has a 57trimct26 for $625. And everywhere else was higher. I thought someone was talking about a place called PT turbos? I saw a site some where I could send my CT off and have them rebuild it for $510 with the upgrade to a 57trim. I definatly...
