No turbo for you! not entirely true...I looked it up. and talked to Rio Trix and the changes would be the manifold and some stuff to the Hydra. I am in the process of trying to convince my wife to allow me to buy it. about 95% sure i'm gonna get it and get a new manifold from Turbokits.com. The biggest SUCK about it is that I won't be able to drive my car until June of next year as i have been hit as part of those 15 month extended tours mr gates talked about. and then i Have to get it installed. Oh, well

Trust me, it'll be better in the long run.Honestly I hadn't planned on purchasing one right now...but being that it is going to save me almost 2 thousand from what i would pay if i was to buy one brand new when i got back...it's a deal that i can't pass up. I have been waiting since my last reenlistment for one to pop up, whilst slowly saving for a new one if one didn't show, so i have to jump on this.
