i decided a while back to go turbo yet havent had anywhere close to the funds...well lets just say i came upon some funds and im considering getting a turbo. actually yes im getting one...just need to know a few things...ive done a lil searching on the forum and 6 psi seems about right up my alley...maybe even 7...well are there any sets in the 1500-2000 range??...not tryna have a race car or anything just a quick sleeper...and from a lil reading i see i need a tranny cooler...so whats prolly the cheapest route i can go??

 

I will only say this on this thread... You will not find a complete turbo setup for 1500-2000 range..
You musr take into consideration the other parts to keep a turbo motor functional,and functioning properly..

The words cheap and turbo doesn't belong together,just like ketchup and soup.

 

From what ive heard here i think you would need at least $3000, and still do alot of the work yourself. Just look up a bunch of the old threads until you find a list of what you need with price estimates.

Also you must have an automatic trans if youre talkin about puttin in a trans cooler, i would be worried about trans failure with the extra hp, but youre right definately put in the cooler if you wanna try turbo.

Personally i would swap the auto trans for a 5spd, that will help you get a little more whp, plus the lower gears will give you faster accel. Its also alot cheaper and easier to do.

 

I'm going to try and never ever touch this thread...

 

yeah i almost forgot about those few pages of bs written a week or 2 ago. I too am done posting on this thread.

 

skatingclaybird can tell you everything that you need to know about cheap kits that will kill your car.

 

whoa...lol..youre saying itll be cheaper and easier to swap my tranny for a manual plus getting a turbo....how can it possibly be cheaper??...or do you mean in the long run??..as far as replacing if the tranny goes out...etc etc....and where in sam hill will i find a 5spd??...salvage yard??

 

Junk yard. Piece o cake, bet you can find one for $350.

 

This guy at my local car show has one, and think a turbo need to wind up and super is working right off the start is it a good idea

 

hmm ok..well..do you know anywhere i can get it put it??...cuz see thing is..i dont have any equipment...now buzzsaws no drills...no none of that..so i wouldnt have the proper equipment...hell i dont even have a lever jack...lol...so getting it ok...i got that down...but puttin it in??..that runs about how much??..oh and also should i jus put the turbo in myself or have it done??
