waste of money, you could spend 5k on a n/a and maybe have it running like a stock turbo, or... spend 5k and have a pretty good vlt..... your choice though

IF it were to be spent on the NA, i would spray it in bright colour over silver, i wouldnt spend jack**** on engine mods coz she aint gonna be too quick anyway, and then i'd get shmick as interior to make it an immac NA!
otherwise, sell it for 4-5K and then hav like 9k to by a 'fully sik VLCT'...that is all, continue!
