Ok came up with a list for maintenance-
- more frequent stops to the gas station
- may have to check your pants more often
- may develope slight case of lead foot
- tires tend to wear sooner
- fighting the ladies off with stick
- may have to offer counciling to the guy who just lost in his new GTO
well, I think that about sums it up.
Let me know if missed something

There is no downside on a properly installed turbo kit that is tuned right.Except the power that strains the driveline

I love this one the best, it has been done. I beleive Allen did that with one of the first kits.

By oil consumption, I mean the increased probability of burning oil with your fuel, rather than having it drink oil. I mean a turbo can definitely cause that as your burn your rings, but so can everything

I am married and have a 1 year old boy. Trust me I get alot of **** for spending money and working on my truck, Most of the time i have to say "babe i need to stay late tonight" so most of my mods are done here at work after hours, lol. Good thing I do the check book, much easier to hide where the money is going, he he!
