ok guys, after my latest trip to pick and pull, i got my turbo from a wrecked chevy sprint, it was the only one they had but hey a turbo is a turbo, im gonna be using some water heater flex-tube since i cant bend pipe, so i'll be making the home-depot run tonight, 1 question i have is how do i hook up my intercooler, do i need to run some ducting from my A/C into it? will this mean i have to run my a/c all the time in order to cool. also theres a small hole on the collar of the intercooler, i cant weld either so i was gonna melt an old ewok action figure over the hole, but i want the spot to be a little darker than the color of the ewok, so i'm just gonna use lando calrisian instead. i think that was my main question, i need to get an ignition system as well, thatll add a few extra ponies as well im sure, i cant quite afford it yet, but ive heard that dipping your plugs in gasoline helps your spark out, so ill be tackling that this weekend ...ok guys keep your ears open for my BOV as you see me fly by!

You don't need to let it cool Off, Just use an Oven Mitt!
