well, just got done installing my turbo after 3 days of BS. to make a long story short, i got everything on and finally got to start my car. me and my buddy drove it down the road and to my dismay was smoke everywhere!!!! My turbo is sooooo shot. I am cheap so i bought a used turbo off of a guy. There was soooooo much smoke it wasnt even funny. But i dont care because that was the loudest spooling turbo i have ever heard in my life. I am ordering a NEW (keyword NEW) turbo tomorrow and i hope to have the beast running in a couple weeks. I have actually heard a turbo spool up on my celica. The moral of this story is........ DONT BUY USED TURBOS FROM SOME GUY IN CANADA!!!!!!!lol you live and you learn
