There is heaps of them here, there are 2 types. The type on this VLT and Aaron's Vactioner, and another type that is more angular. The type in these photos look better.

Have a mate with a G4 in his Silvia and he loves it. Mind you, he spent the money and got it tuned right. Thats where most people get their 'that computers crap' stories from... people who dont know how to install/tune them! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Sold the GTS yesterday, sad to see it go but couldn't resist the cold hard cash. Next time I'll get a factory turbo.
