I had hope for this thread and I hope he proves me wrong, but it is just unbelievable.

Not to add discredit to Frank, but in his other threads he states that his car is a Lease.
He goes on to say, "well i was thinking about it. I think it is stupid to lower a lease car because i have to spend money to install them and uninstall them. I also have to align the wheels which cost a lot."

Isn't installing a custom turbo kit quite a bit more expensive Frank?


P.S. at least he says he has custom headers in his signature.....

In the same thread he also mentions worrying about what springs would do to the warranty on his lease.

But he's not concerned about a hacked up wiring harness and a turbo system?

dude why are u guys attacking me! You guys are trying to find ways to bring me down. Yes my car was a lease like two months ago but i brought the car recently and yes i did not add the springs to my car because i am planning to add coil overs to my car.

I am not trying to attack you and I stated that I hope you prove me wrong.

I based my statement on information you gave on the forum. Thank you for correcting me.

Now that we have that out of the way, lets get an update on your project.

Gots to retard the timing on a high-compo turbo car. This line has always been my favorite:

I like my women like I like my cars, a little rich and a little retarded.

well i agree there has been no encouragement or positive posts by most posters here. Just constant negative feedback and mockery. Thats not to say i total believe he has done it, its just a fact. Maybe its because there hasnt been any proof or specs and this thread was filled up with negative feedback. Anyways goodluck on your dyno and im sure many of us appreciate the hard work done a such a project. keep us updated.

No the Turbo, if there really is one, did not F your car up. You did and if you are wise you will be kind to those at the shop and work with them on the situation. The last thing you need to do is start pointing fingers at them and making threats.

Unfortunately you have to pay to play sometimes.

Good luck
