Hey guys and gals...i know this is a stupid question...but do all o' you know anyway of getting a good, cheap turbo for my car? - - - or anyway to give me a little more umph? - - - i'm not really interested going really,really fast...but more the torque, and acceleration
 i'm that kinda guy:)....the current plans i have are to install a greddy exusht and injen intake - - - but that total w/install will come to a hair under 1k - - - i have to think there is someway of getting more umph for around, or less than that price?...anyway look forward to hearing back! out-

i think you could do a basic turbo project for about 1k. there is a guy on ebay that sell a manifold and a turbo only for 500ish. then you'd need an fmu ($80) and an IC+piping(300ish)... bov (70) and boost guage (40).... plus odds and ends, welding and tuning...
you can save more money if you go for used stuff. this is of course assuming that you do all the work yourself. |

[right][snapback]348151[/snapback][/right] [/quote] ...that's the problem...i would have to have someone else do it...so the install itself would be almost 1k... ...cries is getting one of those electric turbos...and he'll tell me whether it is worth it or not...and if it does anything...so we'll see what the dellio is in a week or so... - - - i know a lot of people on this site hates electric turbos...and has a right too...but has anyone tried them?- - - as far as a really cheap solution that will give you a little boost (2-3 psi.) it does not sound bad! (i'd like if someone who has tried these things to come up and tell me what they think...if it works, don't be afraid to say so!)
