Build your own with these instructions (if you plan to build, email me, I have a slightly improved design): http://pages.cthome.net/gus/mike.html or buy one already built here: http://www.dawesdevices.com/boost.html Five minutes to install, 10 to test, more useable HP/torque and _much_ faster spin up. You can also do some other inexpensive mods such as a large intake for the air box and removing the turbo silencer from the intercooler pipe. Some folks like to "port and polish" the throttle body too. You can do all that for under $50. The only thing that will cost a couple of bucks is a sport exhaust. I like the one from the Saab catalog which is about $400. These folks used to sell the exact same item for a little over $200: http://www.sportscarservice.com/ Their web site is horrid, email them and see if they still have the exhaust available. Bob
