damn dude that sucks, its not the end of the world. So you won't have your own custom turbo system. Save up bout 5k and go Powerhouse turbo or go S/C. You'll get your power fix, You can still feel very proud if you install it yourslef .

Well its not a show stopper, sure 50% more, but in the grand scheme of a turbo setup, 600 bucks is not a show stopper. Just a slight set back.
