This is my first turbo car. As mentioned in my own thread, I was a garage peon for 2 years out of high school...oil changes, spark plugs, tires, hoses, belts...basic stuff. I'd do all of that stuff if I had a garage but I don't. Hauling that crap over to a friend's house is too much trouble for what it costs.

Re: beaterX, 2.5 turns of the wga
I like my EBC, "Boost Box" for the SRT4. Works awesome, boost by gear, rpm, a lot of tweaking you can do, and uses the stock wastegate solenoid. Would never think of going back to a MBC on this car.

Re: beaterX, 2.5 turns of the wga
Sorry, but driving to a friends house to change your plugs, tires, wheels, hoses or belts is NOT more trouble then what it's worth. We charged over $120-$240 to change fucking spark plugs at the dealerships, you telling me shoving a box of 4 plugs in your car, and driving a few miles to a friends house to change them is trouble?! What gas are you running that costs you more then that to drive somewhere? VP Import 120!?

Re: beaterX, 2.5 turns of the wga
I have changed all those items he listed but tires on the side of the road before or parking lots.
If someone needs space I usually have a driveway spot or can clear a garage spot for big work.
