    First off, you have it in the wrong section. And second off, you shouldn't have turbo'd unless you can tune. Just saying.

    my first recommendation is cut out the exclamations in the title and posts. I can't take you seriously when you look like your keyboard won't work right.

    Get vacuum lines at the parts store.


    If Dave feels 60% throttle is 100%, what does he tell his wife.

    Real turbo's cost $800+

    if you buy a turbo new for 250-300 then it probably will die a quick death.

    Used is another story but it won't be that great.

    Turbo'ing a car will end up in the 4,000-5,000$ to get you running stable and reliable, possibly even more than that.

    Fast, cheap, reliable. pick two.

    turboing a car is not for the cheap and is not for someone who has no real time to have it down to do the maintenance required and other things.
