On these cars it's mainly a aesthetic piece.

Edit: looks like to people Ninja posted me

The fact that I was told that and only need a hundred for a retune and the custom turbo is a single and not 9k. I spoke with him and I heard it was around 7k for a simple turbo build unless you wanted front mount then theyd price it a bit higher. I get a discount off of install on everything LMR related. How else do I get 300 dollars off a tune?

So maybe I should of worded a bit different or ls should of asked the lmr guys why that was 9k cause it isnt 9k. Maybe 7.5k with install. You dont need much for a rear mount turbo
