With that big of a turbo, it's really only good for drag racing, too. That's not a very streetable turbo size for that engine - it'll take so long to spool that your low end will be horrible.Jason

easyyou can mix and match body parts, build a car from scratch, get a body from a junkyard, then you cant get a registration unless you get all the body pieces from one car with the same VIN and weld them in so someone can check before they would give you a new registration

Why would they not say the exact horsepower is what I'm wondering. It's like needing 2.7 cups of sugar and the box says "contains 2+ cups!" What the hell?

Pretty neat! No VIN, No title; it does say drag racing & not street legal.

The fact this guy does not have his car Dyno Tuned (No Dyno Chart backing up that 500HP claim) would make me stay far from this car at the price he is asking... you dont slap a bunch of stuff on your car then not tune it, then turn around and try to sell it on ebay for 20 grand.. Some people make me smile
