yes its the bitchin RHD turbo AWD badass 4cyl, its not legally registered in CA, but a friend of mine bought a JDM prelude and took it to this guy that can legally register any JDM car as long as it can pass a one time safety inspection.

why two turbos? youd probably be more efficient, cost effective, and simpler to just use one big turbo.

if its VG30DETT then i will agree, lol, i was still thinking inline motors for some reason, more directly and l28et. a TT SBC something in a V configuration anywho then yeah 2 turbos makes sense.

Get that Pulsar! just swap plates and VINs (illegal) and register it that way. Keep the US pulsar for your emissions tests! hehe

DUDE I can help you make the GTI-R go 200MPH without blowing a head gasket, frying the piston rings, or having your laptop say "Danger to the Manifold" in big bright red letters. if you don't get the GTi-R i will be very disappointed in you.
