I met a guy who drove his T78 around town without power steering. He was only 19 too so I guess it isn't that hard to do.

Vosko's T78 is awesome on the street. Very responsive. I always thought big turbos like that had alot of lag but after riding in his car I'm going even bigger then what he has.

the trick is to size the turbo to the engine. a matched turbo/engine combo will be better than a bunch of specs

better turbos for stock ports would be like a 35/40 (or something that size)
