Plazmaman do a kit to put battery where air box goes and vice versa so your intake is on turbo side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsagoanna Member 6 Member For: 13y 2m 6d Gender: Male Posted 11/06/12 11:03 PM Author Share Posted 11/06/12 11:03 PM Thanks for the replys. As I said, I don't want a race car, but one that's fun, reliable, and doesnt cost me a kidney is good. I really want to get the surge sorted out though. Its annoying me now!
