you owned a piece of shit and because of that you hate domestics? how stupid, I have no problem with imports, even though I have owned crappy imports, I wasnt talking about buying a domestic anyway, I was talking about taking the turbo from it....its not like just because its on a "evil" domestic its junk, after all garrett uses the same turbo on bothe the mustang SVO and a SAAB(pretty sure those are both the same) how many cars have you owned anyway? You will find that in a lot of cars there is one or two rock solid pieces(IE a ford 9" rear end, a chevy TH400 tranny,A 1st gen eclipse BOV, etc.)these are all parts that are made very well, no matter where they were made.....big news flash for you, just because its made in Japan doesnt make it a reliable car, in fact I know a guy still driving his old 69 ford f100 with 400,000+ miles on it and never a rebuild, dont talk shit about domestics being unreliable, or imports being perfect, in my experience I have actually had more problems with imports, but I dont blame that on manufacturer, I blame that on the people who owned the car before me, I assume user error before manufacturer defect
