He did use a xspower turbo, and correct me if I am wrong but isn't that the STOCK EXHAUST?????? I see a stock AST in there too, but that is the least of his worries I am afraid. Poor fd.

I've seen several large single turbo FDs with stock intercoolers. Sad really, and w/o a shroud: Very sad.

Stock AST, Stock Fuel System, Automatic Transmission.

*Sigh* This FD is a total freaking nightmare.
