nothing in North america is going to have those in it. Your best bet is a MKIII supra turbo or an RX-7 Turbo II.

I've got a freind who might have a set for sale, I am waiting to hear back from him.

later,

Paul

hey, that is one hell of a huge turbo in your pic, do you have a hole in your hood or somehting? also, where did you run the piping for the intercooler, and is it a FMIC? thanks

it's a frontmount and it goes around the inside of the fenders, works pretty nice (stock battery location).

The turbo fits just fine :)
