so far so good. it gets frustrating at times. you definately learn a lot more about your car and how your mods work when you do it yourself. even if you do not build a custom kit i think it is worth while to do the work yourself.

I saw a turbo kit I think its the new TSI (?) kit for 4k ish, I was wondering what kind of numbers a 325 could do?
Looks like you will get some awesome numbers when it is finished!

What kind of car are you turbo charging? About how much is it costing you in parts to do this? Are you reading any books on how to build and install a turbo? have you done this before?
Sorry, lots of quetions because I am interested in Forced Induction.
