First I'm going to feature Vince's 90Si Turbo. This is the guy that
started it all in the world of 3G Turbo Performance. The Prelude you
are about to see here was turbocharged back in 1994 with a kit produced
by DRAG. Unfortunately, DRAG decided that the job required too much work,
and the dream of having a commercially mass produced turbo kit was out of the
question. As you'll see, some of the pictorals will reflect on DRAG's poor
worksmanship.

In the new and exciting world of 3G Performance, this car should be known to
every Prelude enthusist. If you didn't already know, this is Tom Coleman's
88Si Turbo. Seems how no one would fabricate a turbo kit, Tom took the
initiative, and now produces his own custom turbo kits which are available
to all. This car marks a milestone in the Prelude community.
More on Tom's kit/car. - coming soon!
What would the world be with out friends? As with all enthusists, you tend to
hang around others that have the same tastes for performance as you do. I met
Michael online one day while doing a search through hp.com on 3G setups. To
my suprise, this car had a LONG list of mods, and was very CLEAN! Michael
was one of the first to buy a T25 Turbo "near kit" from Tom. Take a look at
this wonderful marvel of tubes and colors.

As it turns out, I'm a member of this turbo family as well. My car was purchased, already turbocharged, from my good friend Keith Maddox. Keith actually purchased the first LudeSPEED T3 kit Tom ever made back in Dec. of 1999, and installed the kit Valentines Day of 2000. After nearly 3 years, the manifold started to give out which happened to be a few weeks after I purchsed the car in Septemeber of 2002. After much work, I had a new manifold made, and I'm currently back in business with the Turbocharged application once again.
