Hi-Tuning USA prices went way up! I got mine on a turbobricks group buy. thelostartof on Turbobricks has a nice product thats more reasonable. I had both in the 945t and liked them both. He also sells 3" exhaust. Not affiliated in any way, just passing on info.

these cars are extremely quick in a straight line once you get your mods sorted out- it's hard to believe honestly and they also hold up well to boost. They are kind of a dog stock, have a buzzy sound to the engine and a put-put exhaust note, but very very reliable, not very prone to rusting, and tough as nails.

slight threadjack: i'm looking for general info on these turbo brick wagons, especially interested in the RWD cars. differences by years, what engine is best, what trans is best, etc. so far have only found forums, no good FAQs. the google didn't help.

thanks. i was just coming back to delete my post after opening that link. many questions answered. when the probe GT gets retired, it may be replaced with a turbo brick.

When that time comes look me up, by then I will be broke because I will have spent too much on this one so I'll be in need of selling...
