    I guess I"m a little biased since I have the kit.. but like vortex said... Corolla + Turbo = awesome!

    The car is so much fun to drive... the BOV turns heads... passing on freeways is no problem... not to mention the intercooler looks good :)

    Stafford built a good product... If you can have someone install it, I would recommend it, since it took Stafford about 6-7 hours to do it themselves.

    If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask me. I'm sure Sean2Sean will chime in his knowledge as well.

    perhaps racingsolution himself can elaborate... lol

    sean2sean is the only other person (that I'm aware of) than racingsolution that has the SF kit. It's pretty similar to the one I'm running and I hear just as good things about it as I feel about mine...

    turbo + corolla = rockass

    :D

    I have a custom kit...My mechanic built it for me. Anyways, yeah a turbo corolla is pretty cool! Very uncommon...Lot's of people are like, wow! That's a corolla?!

    I like it and it's different! On and I have the Blitz BOV...Not much of a whistle, just a huge PPSSSSHHHHHH! I will get some footage on my camera and let you guys hear it, and see how I can get up a little.

    Turbo kits are expensive.. and its hard to find a company that will make a good product... I also got a great deal on mine

    I think u are the only 5spd right now... Sounds like Vortex is planning on a tranny swap, and I have a shop that will do mine as well...

    It was a discounted price for me b/c I am in the club...But, all the stuff that is in my sig I got... www.teamventureracing.com

    Oh and customrollaz98...You are not going to get 400+ HP out of your rolla...It's just not going to happen.

    Pistons, rods, camshaft, valves...hell everything and that's $$$$ Then you would have to get axels specially built (they dont make ones for rolla's that you can just buy). Dude, you are talking about 15 G's at least...Be realistic.

    Why spend $20k on a car? I am pissed at myself for spending around $6k. You must have more money than you know what to do with.

    Ok I just looked at your profile. You are 16 and you have 20 G's to just drop on your Toyota Corolla?????? Mommy and Daddy must be loaded---or you are just BS'n (where's the flag). Sorry, I will just believe this when I see it.

    Oh and if you want to build a REALLY fast car...Get a hatchback civic...The parts are just out there for the taking.
