  1. The exhaust size is important, I have owned a number of turbo charged cars. it isn't important for the same reason mind you, well sorta not. Ok heres the deal with a small exhaust is restrictive, obviously, hence causing the turbo to spin slower. turbo lag. The reason a smaller exhaust on an NA car seems better is it creates a vacuum and scavanges the cylinders sort of sucking out the burnt fumes, but that only really helps at low rpms at higher rpms its another story. An engine is an air pump. the goal is to get air in and out as quick and smooth as possible, Honestly it all really depends on the type of driving you do or want to do smaller for a more stop and go type city driving bigger for a more racing type of highway, my starion has three inch from the downpipe back and it never had a problem. my xt has 2 from the turbo back with custom headers and a blown 12a (starion turbo) so i have no clue if i'll need to go bigger yet, i do know its loud as hell.
  2. I did somethin like that, but i have 2 inch straight pipe from the heads back on both sides, it sounds awesome but mine is too loud. yours probably sounds freakin amazing.
  3. thank you, also the key is on the left side direct opposite of the ignition switch.
  4. I bought an Xt 4wd turbo form the junk yard only 164k on the ticker the only problem i am having with is, how the hell do you get the fuel door open is there a lever or something. this is my first subie so i am a complete ignoramus about this all. I am assuming its an electric solnied and i cant find where the previous owner put the switch, There is a second key switch in the dash but when i short it, it does nothing. Please help Jason
  5. Thanks for the reply and sorry for the redundant question.
