I don’t know man. That puts you at about 13g’s. So think about it. I would just sell all the parts ditch the car and start with something fresh. IMHO it’s starting to turn into a money pit. And if you financing this with a credit card thats not a really smart thing to be doing. But it’s your money your car so it’s your call. All I can do is give you my opinion like the rest have said… ---

> [@DrDoS](#): > > dont know where you guys keepon getting the credit card stuff, i dident buy my parts trough a credit card. Sorry I was just going by what was mentioned by the other posters… Thats my bad. But seriously think about what you have into this car, when it was suppose to be a simple turbo conversion.Over 13G’s to boost a car is crazy expensive man… ---

If i would be you. I would talk to HotRodKid or somebody else except your mechanic… to see where you stand, and what you can with all the stuff that you have now. See what you need to finish the build. If you run into problems again such as those that you described, i would stop the build. Why choose HotRodKid? Because he does EXCELLENT work. I was there when he built the Turbo SHO, and i was just amazed of what he can do without ‘somedude’ spending a ton of money. Another thing is, listen to what people tell you. I don’t mean that in a bad way or anything. OR Sell the car, or get a different project car. Thats all, good luck. ---
