hey guys...i'm thinking about getting a bigger turbo for my car. i was wondering if anyone had a good used 20g or maybe something smaller at a good price.

I believe he meant check the intercooler pipes for boost leaks, not so that one doesn't pop off. Boost leaks can create similar problems.
I say check spark first because, besides checking for boost leaks it's about the easiest method of diagnosis you can do. Unplug the plug wires from the spark plugs, remove the spark plugs, plug the spark plugs back into the wires and set them all on top of the valve cover making sure that the plugs are grounded to the valve cover. Then have a buddy get in the car and crank it over. Spark should be very defined and noticeable. If it's not, start there. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"
