Default first turbo car!

so after fixing a totaled SS and doing bolt ons, im removing them a day after i installed them.
found a guy in my area that will build me a turbo set up for a descent price. using 6.0 liter truck heads and t67 turbo and a front mount the car should make descent power.
no other supporting mods other than fuel. i doing this car on a budget.
wish me luck. my first turbo car. so it should be interesting

Good luck but be ready for some $$$$. Double your budget and you should be pretty realistic. The small stuff adds up fast.

yea im being buget minded on this build.
the kit includes all hard piping and FMIC, turbo, blow-off valve,
the kit is costing me 4500 and im expecting there will be around a thousand more dollars to get the car even running.
it should be fun though
