if i had to have more performance i would stick with a factory upgrade.

doing a from scratch turbo installation seems like asking for a barrel of trouble sorting it out.

it would be a lot cheaper to sell off your coupe and buy a factory hot rod like a 500e. course it has two more doors but it will be a sweet performer. and you cant see the extra doors from the drivers seat.
