took the plunge
Just ordered my exhaust and cold air intake. Time to start the performance build on my buzzbomb
Medalion touring should bolt on easy. Next stop, more horses...maybe I willl look at turbo options if there is an easy bolt on kit. Otherwise, I am open to suggestions |

tanabe medallion is so nice on the LB.
If you plan on going turbo youre going to have to get new intake/exhaust so you may want to consider s/c or save the money. |

cheap power equals the turbo, and there are a handful of extremely detailed turbo builds around here if you have the know how to do it yourself.

i tend to end up in the hospital when I do hands on work. So I am taking learning all this stuff at a very slow and hospital free rate.
