you will have to go with a pair of 76's.

as far as funding the rest of the system you are out of money.

This thread is really vague.

- Is the car auto?
- Is it a street car, or track only car?
- What are your ultimate goals with the car?
- What type of power are you wanting to make?

etc.

2500 bucks is an unrealistic budget.

If you were doing the build yourself, all welding and such, and depending on the car itself you can do that. I would do a borg warner S480 tho, in a T6 housing. Use truck manifolds, and a air to water intercooler. You would have to pick and choose used parts to piece the kit together tho. And see if you can get a muffler shop to let you pick scrap pipes.

I would plan a more realistic budget of 3500 or so if you were still doing the kit yourself.

Ouch, sounds like I may need to break open the piggy bank as well. Are 76's the op's only option?

more-so than 76's my point was that you aren't going to do **** with 2500 bux, and beyond a shadow of a doubt would it be *best* of anything.

10g's for a turbo system and you will start to use parts in the *best* category

the best setup you can get for 2500 or less is probably an incomplete one.

lol OP, you need to do some research. There are people making 1000+ rwhp on a single 88. Also, just like MIGHTYMOUSE said, with 2500 you can start buying stuff for a turbo kit, but there's no way that would be enough to complete a turbo setup. Especially twins. Spend a lot more time reading on here, look at the "Real cost of forced induction" sticky at the top of this section too.

I don't think it's so much of the cost of the turbo parts it's the fact that you have to build everything else up according to the turbo like tranny, fuel pump, injectors, tune, rear end etc. So everything will handle the torque. When I'm done with my s10 I'll have about $1,800 into it in just turbo parts including a tune but when you look at everything else I changed revolving around the turbo set up it's way more. And I don't even have the best of turbo parts just stuff that will work but will still perform well and suite my needs. But when your talkin on making 800+ horse your going to have over $2500 in turbo parts alone. Hell I'm only going to make 600whp max and I'm at $1800. It's going to cost you a **** load for your other parts to support that kind of power as I stated earlier. alot of people just look at the cost in parts alone and forget to look at the big picture with all the other added expenses.

Then I could see you barely getting by with $2500 with 1 turbo. But for two atleast $3000-35000. I would do 76's as stated earlier
