So I stupidly bought a stupid car. It was actually the failed project of the stupid previous owner who (brilliantly) sold it to stupid me. To this day I cannot believe how stupid this was, and sometimes I try to forget. Fortunately, my loved ones are always available and willing to remind me of my amazing level of stupid. At least as far as this stupid car goes.

The stupid plan that the PO had devised was to put a big stupid Chinese turbo on this car. (I would tell you what kind of stupid car it was, but you would actually vomit if you had to read it.) So when I stupidly went and picked this car up, I got a big, stupid cardboard box with the following stupid parts:

A brand new stupid Chinese turbocharger. All of the stupid tubes for it. Blow-off valves and other stupid parts A stupid aluminum intercooler Probably a bunch of other stupid stuff that I am forgetting

In addition, the stupid box also includes a stainless-steel, weld-it-you-stupid-self exhaust manifold and collector for the stupid Chinese turbo. It's like THIS.

Now, if you thought this was all pretty stupid so far, get ready for more and BIGGER stupid! I have been storing this stupid box of stupid Chinese turbo stuff in my basement for two entire stupid years. Why? Because (and you really should have guessed this) I'm just stupid when it comes to this box.

But, friends, this is where my STUPID becomes YOUR GAIN! This is because I am stupidly selling ALL of this stupid stuff for the low, low price of $200.

Email me at Aaron@Meisner.net and get two hundred dollars to me and we can all put this stupid episode behind us.

This LINK should take you all of the stupid pics.

Well I must be more stupid than you, because I have absolutely no use for this yet I'm still damn tempted!

And dare I ask...do you have any specs on it?

Let me think about this, I might buy a 1999 Saturn with 200K miles in the next few days. Now that could be fun

BTW: What area of Baltimore do you live in?

I will have to go down the stupid basement and check the markings. The stupid car is too shameful to confess, so I will say nothing more than it was stupid. And I will never buy another stupid Escort GT ever again. Or so says my gf (she isn't STUPID, you know.)

The stupid basement is in my stupid house in Baltimore 21218. Right near Johns Hopkins Homewood campus (NOT the medical campus).

bluej and I are corresponding on this part currently.

Last time someone bought an Escort GT on here, he found out he'd bought a wrecked one, and still spent a STUPID pile of money building it as an autocross destroyer, and promptly blew the engine up.... that was a swapped v6. You're not alone.

You shut your stupid mouf.

The slightly less stupid way to do what i did would have been to install the stupid chinese turbo on the the stupid stock BP.

Would have been stupid amounts less money and would have been stupid easy to do.

It'd still be a stupid BENT Escort GT. With a stupid owner, that convinces his friends to to equally stupid things.

In reply to mndsm:

The stupid act of convincing stupid friends to do the stupid things he does with stupid cars might just be pretty damn stupid.

Do you have any stupid dimensions on the stupid intercooler? I might be stupid enough to buy this off you, just for the stupid intercooler, and then I can most of a stupid box of random stupid parts for later stupid projects.

I've read the stupid word stupid in this stupid post so many times, I'm unsure if stupid is spelled stupidly or I am stupid

If bluej gets stupid and doesn't buy this stupid thing, I may be stupid enough to try and bodge it onto my Mazda5.

I fixed that stupid post for you bluej. Man I had no idea that EGTs had that much stupid, here I thinking that that level of stupid was limited to my SAAB and the stupid guy that insists on making it run when it clearly wants to be broken.

this could take my stupid project in a different, stupid direction. Does that stupid Chinese turbo have a stupid T3 flange?

Sorry your girlfriend thinks your escort GT project was stupid. That's really all I got out of this thread.
