    Seriously now, how heavy is a mk3 turbo?

    I know I want a mk3 for several reasons. But all my friends are trying to talk me out of it because they all have light a** 240's/srt-4's which zoom around town.

Would it lag alot? I'm looking for a good drag turbo and I cant find enough specs. about these. Plus...

    good place to buy a turbo manifold?

    I see alot of people sporting the e-bay manifolds and from the looks of it they seem to be working just fine... Would you recommend anything else or are these good enough? Or should I spend some extra cash to get something with higher quality (if any). Ken.

    What size turbo would I need to kill a C5 on the fw??

    Reason I ask is because a friend of mine works with this cocky dude who drives a C5 with catback exhaust, intake and gears and he killed me when I races him in my 3kgt vr4 (basically stock).. So what turbo would be good to buy for a supra which could pull on one with ease.. I want to see his...

    How many people here run 12's with under 20psi??

    I would like to run low to mid 11's some day (once I own a supra) but until then I could get ideas on how to make it happen, one step at a time and I think 12's is a good starting point ( already have a low 13 second car, so I want to go faster then that )...
