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]348505[/snapback][/right] i'm guessing from the price its crush bent not mandrel also is that with flanges or did you buy those extra and o2 bun did you get one welded on? maybe a egt bun then wraped or coated and size of pipe makes a diffence also so yes you can have a crush bent down pipe for cheap or you can get a nice mandrel bent one with o2 and egt buns welded on maybe take another step and get it coated or wraped i take extra steps because i plan for down the road or the big picture but thats me -------------------- yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
