I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

I have my doubts a 600 dollar kit is very complete.

Um, a decent turbo would cost about $600, lol, the kit you got lined up is most likely complete shit. Just swap it.

TURBO. For the cost of a swap, you could build yourself a turbo D that'll smoke it.
