I went to the local autox today, and had a great time. After it was all over with, a guy who I've seen at past events comes up and asked if my car is NA or not. I told him it was. I guess he was impressed with how well I did. I took second to an Avenger by about .1 seconds, and beat out a late 80's Prelude Si with 4WS, new Cavalier, new NOT stock (springs, gutted interior, race seats, STB, etc.) Sunfire, and maybe one other that I can't remember.
Anyways, he told me that he makes custom turbo kits. I mentioned that Greddy and HKS make turbos for my car (Civic), and he said that he can put one together for $1000+ less than you can buy them for. He peaked my interest. I mentioned to him that I know of several Saturn people that would love to have a turbo kit. Seeing that there is really only one on the market at the moment. Glancing over his webpage and talking to him, he supplies all but the electonics and additional injectors if needed, but he can get them for you (I believe). He does the piping, turbo, compressor, intercooler, and I would assume the oil lines and other connections and such. From talking to him, he can build a kit to suit your needs. Anything from a large slow spooling lots of power to a small quick spooling not as much power turbo. Personally, I would go with a turbo that can be producing boost at around 2k. It would make it more ideal for autox. He said that he just needs a donor car to develop on. Also, an order of or a market to sell atleast 20 to make it worth the cost. I know where he can find a 91 SL2 to develop on, if it is still at the junk yard. His webpage is http://www.itsturbo.net. The email to reach him is at the bottom of the main page. I'm not getting any kick back from this, just so you know. I'm just sharing with the Saturn community. For those in the area, this guy is in Dayton, OH. He's got several turbo cars at home. I know he has a Merker that he used to run last year and previous years. I believe he mentioned a turbo Mustang maybe a Camaro. There was one other that I can't remember what it was. He said that he talked to an S2000 guy at the event today that wants to put one on his car. Especially since the aftermarket ones are like $10k, and this guy says that he can build it for less. Hope some of you are interested. Sounds like this guy could be very interested in developing a turbo kit for Saturns. Could be worth showing your intesest to him. -- Eric Yousey mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] AOL Instant Messenger: EYousey http://www.geocities.com/eyousey/ Visit SPOC National at http://www.spocnational.org Don't forget to update your Profile in the Owners Database.
