With the time and energy it took you to get your setup right and making power I wouldn't beable to buy that kit from you for a million dollars.

One of the kits i am looking at. Looks like something u might want to look at also.


This kit looks real nice.
I dont like the 700 dollar for the bigger turbo but no big deal there.
3599 for everything but the intercooler and turbo sounds nice. Its only 600 dollars to add a T70 but 1400 for the T76. That is kinda high. Also 1200 bucks for a intercooler Thats just not gonna happen.
Could spend 3600 on the kit plus maybe 1700 for a nice turbo and intercooler and you have one hell of a setup for 5300 bucks.

5399 for a small T70 with air to air or upgrade to the T76 for a total of `$6200. There goes most of your 7k budget and you still need injectors, fuel pump?, tuning, etc.

Turbos and intercoolers aren't cheap by any means. Make sure you don't go too big or it will be a laggy s.o.b, don't just go for peak horsepower.

If you do the install yourself you should have enough in your budget to get a good system, he already said he has the fuel so he should be ok.

Are you talking just the turbo? What about Suspension, Rearend, Clutch/Converter, Fuel system / injectors... etc etc..

I think you could do it pretty cheap with a STS, FMIC, and a T-67 instead of the T-60. (Keep in mind even cheap... I am not sure you can stay under 7K)

But I am still kinda a noob... what do you guys think?

And just FYI... for me instead of buying a T-67 I have a Trimmed and Pollished t-60... If I ever need more I can have a 67 wheel installed... much cheaper then buying another turbo.
