[s-cars] what to replace when installing turbo

[Taka Mizutani]

Definitely get new gaskets, studs and nuts when doing the turbo. Otherwise,
you'll definitely snap off a stud, not have a replacement and be stuck.

If you do a hybrid, make sure you get coolant and oil lines as well. Is the
2871 the one that is nearly the same as the RS2? For daily driver use, I
wouldn't recommend going too big- the RS2 hits nicely and pulls really
strong for a daily driver kind of car- much more lag than that wouldn't be
too much fun in traffic.
