cost of puting on a turbo???

[shoguns]

ok, i think ive finally decided that i will put a turbo setup on my car.:D it will still be a while before i can do it, i am going to have to wait till christmas bonus and tax return come in. i was able to put all the mods that u see on my car (except for the coilovers) and completely furnish my new apt w/ last years so....i was just needing to figure out about how much im lookin at. also being that i have an auto tranny would this even be a good idea?:confused:

[shoguns]

im also kinda reluctant because this is still my daily driver...

[Bitch]

for some people, putting a turbo in their car, means moving out of the house and gettin disowned. freakin stupid

[andrewk]

D-series turbo kit if i'm correct.

Yuo could most likely find a kit for around 1000-1500? and then intall isnt' hard at all if it's direct bolt up like usualy.

jsut have to get tune and oil tap.

2000-3000 for eveyrhting

yay! welcome to the club! I am putting a turbo on my ls ( the whole reason i got a ls instead of a gsr). And my car is my daily driver too ( yay for boost controlers)

it depends

hes sayin' a t28, a faster spooling turbo or liek a bigger 73/t4 turbo

it'd be cheaper to go with a smaller turbo but depends on what youre wanting to do.

or maybe just show points for being turbo?

[guacamole.]

vroom pshhhh vroom.
:D

if you are gonna go turbo dont half ass it..and yes you will need a custom turbo kit...and in my opinion the t28 ball bearing turbo is perfect..i have a friend with the same car with a custom kit with t28 boosting 12 psi tuned...and that bitch hawls ass.....and the price you got quoted is about right...and o yea ...run 8 injectors instead of 4...safer...just my thoughts though

dude my turbo setup cost about 1200 dollars cause i got the hook up on some things

[Kimo]

yeah if you take your time you can spend small amounts till you have it all-- i believe in you-- Im going to go ahead and aim towards turbo now.. i cant help it

[shoguns]

damn, this is killin me, must.....have......turbo!

[norsamerican]

it took me about a year to piece together my turbo kit....i bought turbo/compressor then bought a manifold.....then a FMIC then made pipes for it....then bought a hks ssqv brand new for 150 with aluminum flange bc the guy that sold it didnt know what it was for

[shoguns]

i think that is what i'll probably do, the only thing is i have NO clue what i need when it comes to a turbo setup so i will definitely need some guidance...right now there are NO performance mods on the car, all stock. i might need to throw on a nice exhaust, mainfold, intake, and different tranny first...
