nope because most people or many love the look of a sleeper.
and we can only make one set of piping so if I had to do one for every aftermarket bumper that wouldn't make sense. so stock bumper is the one choosed. thing is the stock bumper is probably the one that have the less space so piping should fit everyother bumper IMO

The bottom line, I want turbo. Would I have to upgrade to the ZE first or can I turbo my 1.8?

you can turbo your 1.8. only difference is you'll use a smaller turbo than the rest of people with 2.5L

When is everyone doing downpayments? Cause if you are taking the time to do this Blue I would have downpayments in before everything goes through the whole planning stage. Mostly cause I know ppl on this board back out a lot....

I believe Steve is "just" supplying MMI with the pipes and info.
MMI is doing the moneypart of things I guess.

Keep it up Steve, good luck on the midterms :)

Pakfeifercanada is the place you'll have to send money too. He's the one that'll supply the kit

it's basically like that

I built the prototype, MMI builds them in mass, Pakfeifer is selling.
So ya paiments will have to be sent to Pakfeifercanada.

Maybe you can arrange somethin with him as far as paiments goes

Thanks nope

well that should be correct since you live in Canada,
I guess for those in the us, probably MMI could ship them out directly instead of going through Oscar, paiments would still have to go through him though. So either way you don't pay for customs, and I know how that could be a pain sometimes

any word on if this will still fit with AC?

oh and come to think of it, I have dual exhaust right now, so it's two seperate pipes coming off the headers. i'm guessing this turbo setup would throw it all off and true duals would no longer be an option?

mm like I said I don't got anybody here with A/C that can come and show me how it is (well there was steph01 but his car was stoled so..)

your set-up won't be useable here, sorry for that
