hey guys.........couldnt figure out why i couldnt post until i came by here lol
well, i dont own a tiburon, but instead a 5spd 05 elantra. I'm running the alpine entry level turbo kit on my car........i wont lie either i've had quite a few problems here and there w/ it, my most recent being overboosting. But I came over here hoping to get some ideasto further improve my turbo setup. You guys/girls seem very knowledgeable about these things, and i hope to learn a lot while i'm here. I actually came here searhcing for some tigerlilly pistons and just got kind of tangled up in reading the posts in the other forums lol.
well, sorry for the long post........so Hello.
BTW, I came over from exd and eclub for those of you that may know me from there lol

Thanks
lol If i was any better w/ tuning and fabrication i would like to go custom. I figure if i've had a rough time w/ such a "bolt-on" kit then custom is not for me........just yet anyway. It serves it's purpose for now.
I'll post up some pics of the setup in a few..........as for the car, if you've seen an elantra you've seen my car lmao.gif . It's about as stock as they come. All i've got outside that is noticeable are some clear sidemarker's and a cracked hubcap, but if you want to see it i can post up.
