Another ebay wonder - how would this bolt on?

I'm scared to buy from anyone who can't even spell their own ad correctly.

Would you go to the barber at 'harecuts'
Would you get your oil changed at 'Oil Loobs'

Exactly!

$499? Ridiculous.

0 bids as of this posting. Sounds about right. Sable and Marauder owners aren't that stupid.

Sable and Marauder are two words that don't belong together.

Have a nice time "bolting" that on - you may have no idea what's all involved with a turbo - it's a nightmare. Don't do it yourself. Leave that to the professionals like Jerry Barnes or some other person that has the funds and experience to tackle making a kit like this.

I used to own a Sable. Nice car for a 6 cyl FWD. Only sold it due to financial issues at the time.

Boy, don't you guys know anything? See that round thingey in the upper right. That's where it hooks up to your cooling outlet, between the radiator and block, instead of your thermostat. See, the hot water from the block enters the manifold, and expansion causes the impeller to spin, then, um .....:dunno:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mike - I believe that's the wastegate for this turbo. Some of them have them on the actual turbo, some you have to install on the exhaust side. Turbo's a different bread than Super's :)

Darn me! How come you gotta go messing up a wonderfully good theory with an ugly fact? That's the trouble with us big thinkers, there's always folks willing to point out the stupidity of our great ideas. :(

How come I didn't get any mail full of cash for my truly insightful idea about turning off the shock(s) switch in the trunk, for better weight transfer and thus, lowering ET's? It's a tough world out there for us trend-setters.;)
