wheres the tag a person button?!

I may just start my own thread... tomorrow. Im whooped.

There are no other options for turbos that fit the stock uppipes/pedistal arrangement except for the few modified stock turbos like the D66, Comp Turbo's TP38, and a couple others. If you think about it though, by the time you get IH bellowed uppipes and a D66, your down about $2000... So, if your wanting to go to bellowed uppipes and a better turbo, IMO run a T4 kit and an S series turbo. Almost the same price and the S series will perform better if it's spec'd correctly.

You can make your own up pipes and not speed that much money. But, if your like me with no brains and **** poor welding ability then spend 2K!

LOL

Yep, you can build your own bellowed uppipes and it wouldn't be too difficult if you have the ability to weld. I know not everyone here has that ability though
