No way! Youll need at least 16 20 ton stands.

why do you want to put the car completely in the air using jack stands? to put the turbo on? cause you only need 2 jack stands for you will only be working on 1 end of the car at a time.

cause i'm doing exhaust, brake, and a few other things too. so i need it all up in the air. and yes i know someone with a lift, he will want money to use it though and i don't trust the place cause their are toomany thieves around that area and the lift is in a garage that can be easily borken into.

you dont need the whole car in the air to do what you are doing. the only time you need it in the air is when your putting in subframe connectors....which i suggest you do before the turbo.

Was that a serious question? Yes the blow off valve just attaches somewhere in the middle of the car. Not not really! The blow off valve is in the engine bay.

it's best to ignore the things he says.

I guess he may have been thinking of a dump tube but that is still usually up front unless you want to extend the pipe backwards for some reason.

Your good to go with those 4 jacks. I toss mine up like that once a year to detail the wheels inside and out, and clean the wheel wells really good and the bottom of the car good.
