Soho is VERY close to the Momentum kit. BUT the Momentum kit is still around. Z1 motorsports has them. They will do the install on it though. I personally had one custom piped for me. It cost about a grand but I think is worth it. If you have a good shop near you, you can get a kit pieced together for a bit less than a box kit and it will be nicer. I wish I would have gone this route from the begining... I could have the intercooler, turbo, injectors and everything I want for way less. Think of it like this... A turbonetics kit is between 5k-6k... If you send out to a shop they will charge probably over a grand to install it... Where if you bought a intercooler 300, Precision 6262 turbo 1200, had them custom fab the piping 1k, then you have probably another 500 in other buts and oil feed lines so your at 3k for it all... maybe a bit more for install and that but probably not. What I would do is install the fuel rails, and injectors and pump before I take it in and hand it to them with it all unassembled. AKA take out you intake piping, take off the bumper ETC. That way when you add 1000 cc injectors 350, AAM fuel rails with a return fuel system 1k new pump 150... You can see that your 5k goes a LOT further than just to a okay turbo kit that will need to be constantly maintained.

Scratched my windshield scraping the ice off of it with a plastic scraper. Must have got a piece of grit on the windshield from driving and the ground it into the windshield when scraping off the ice. Tried polishing it out with several compounds and polishes, and while it looks better, some is still there. May just get a new windshield, it has a couple of rock chips in it.

Be careful if you park outside and scrape that ice off in the morning.

very great idea if you are very savy like yourself, me i got lost after you said finding a custom fabricator lol. but i am very interested in going turbo by the summer time just saving up a few more grand, i dont want to blow my rainy day money on a car haha.


@saywat true that, that could work! do all years work with a 07 though?? hmm..
