if i were to take the car back and invest some horses into it, i think that hp per dollar isn't worth it in the end especially if i cant have a true dual. the whole concept of a car to me is about it being perfect and symmetrical.. ect, thats why i think an aftermarket high end dual is not only custom but it makes a car unique. honestly does it make sense to invest or scrap and move on?? And if so to what?! Because i still can not find another 6 speed manual euro with a decent sport appeal.

If you want a faster MB. You should buy a faster mb. MB is capable of making the car cheaper than you can if that makes sense. How much power do you want?

The only problem with that is you will need custom pipes for exhaust and I wouldnt use those cuplers for your charge pipe. They tend to (blow off) during boost. Than your engine is breathing in air from inside your engine bay and is not filtered. You wont be able to do more than 2.5 piping easily. That looks to be about the right size turbo. Would be nice to see someone go through with this. I have an offer for my 350 6spd for 17,8 so it is most likely going to be sold unless something falls through.

The best way is to piece it together yourself. With those knock off turbo's its a hit or miss. A lot better off buying a re-built turbo.
