hey all, i'm looking right now for a turbo / supercharger setup and my price range is 0-1800ish. had a suggestion from a member to look for a gt-60 or gt-67 turbo headunit and try to put my own "kit" together. besides powerdyne is there any other S/C that will be in my price range? i have a m6, so will it be hard to launch with the turbo also. i'm looking to make 400 - 425 hp on my engine which is basically stock and not have to dump anymore money into a dif. rear etc., any input on a route to look at would be greatly suggested guys. i've read alot in the past couple days but there is alot and i'm new to this thanks!

Hmm, at $1,800 you are going to be VERY limited... If you go turbo, I think your best bet would be an STS kit (rear-mount turbo setup). It's the least invasive and least expensive... and people get good results with it... I think you'll easily hit that power goal. A lot of people talk trash on the STS kits, but every turbo setup is built with a purpose... and the STS purpose is to create more torque at a low cost and with minimal installation pains. For YOU, it might be the right fit!!!

well aren't the STS kits like 3500 bones? i know ill be very limited, i really love the idea of having a turbo and i think it would help me reach that power goal cheaper than a S/C. if i did go the route of putting my own turbo kit together, would a gt60 or gt67 turbo headunit do the job that i'm looking to get out of it power wise ? ( what's the real difference between front mount and rear mount turbos? just installation? )

3500 for a base kit

With $0-1800, you could get yourself a badass turbo...

Now, about getting it on the car...

For $1800, you better be ready to do everything yourself and mount it in the back...

Maybe even a used STS kit? Wow, this one's tough.

What the difference between front and rear mounting? Not just installation no matter what anyone says. They encompass two different and unique applications of forced induction. There's a VERY good thread addressing this lingering around here.

$1800.00 does not get you crap in the FI game. My Mondo Bypass valve/FMIC was $1500.00 alone.

Well, I was trying to humor you, man...

James Rodriguez laid the cut REAL straight right now, though.

I am just trying to be honest. It adds up quickly and well into the 5 digits.

go nitrous.

FI is a very expensive hobby.
Im afraid it can not be done for 1800.

You still need rear end, fuel, forged motor, tune, etc...

I agree completely. You could get an awesome nitrous kit for that price. You would not be able to get anything in the sc/tc game. Unless you found a deal on eBay?

For that price, it is DAMN hard to get what you'll need. BUT, you'd still need a tune and that pretty much puts it out of your price range.

Nitrous is the one thing that will get you were you want to be and still have some cash laft over for other mods.

well i kinda wanted a N/A setup, my original plans was cam it, but didn't think that would get me where i wanted to be in terms of HP. i threw around the idea of a turbo and a few people said you can piece together a remote mount system for under 1500 bucks, guess it got me alittle excited and i looked into it pretty hard. i did find a gt-60 turbo on ebay though for 800 bucks...say wastegate 200, BOV 200, and piping 150 am i missing something..?

since you already have LTs, magnaflow catback, slp lid and a z06 clutch and limited funds, heres what id do:

nice cam $400
ls6 intake $325
ported TB $150
ASP pulley $150
gears $180
tuning $500

do some research and you'll find alot of peolpe are hitting 400-415 cam only depending on the cam. check out the for sale section. I bought a ton of stuff from there and saved ALOT of money. theres always ls6 intake and big cams in there for sale.

^ what about the good ol' 10 bolt with new gears and all. i've heard people say they will go quick and others say they would last. just a roll of the dice?
edit: btw if i do go cam i got my eyes set on the TSP 233/239 and if i got that 800 gt-60 turbo would it be possible to piece together my own kit for around my price range?
