With the huron kit you keep the radiator in the same place and just use pusher fans. It's also VERY budget friendly if you get in on the group purchase.

Better slow down and get a second job. No kit worth a crap is cheap. And you will spend plenty more on supporting mods. Just a 3 gauge pillar pod and cheap gauges will run you around $600.

building a boosted car on the cheap...isnt cheap. ive done it. haha! that said, we worked very hard to make our kit affordable and easy to install/straight forward as possible. the two things you want are affordability and the radiator to remain in the factory location. we can provide those two things. we also take pride in the quality of our kit. but, patience is a virtue

You're in for a surprise if you want it done fast and cheap. The only way to "budget" a turbo build is to plan on making a budget to go broke. Lol
