You're gonna want to stay away from powerdyne. Im pretty sure everyones gonna tell you that you'll be spending well over 3800. It looks like the cheapest option is going to be an STS turbo kit or a Procharger d1sc kit. Those will run you about 4500-5500 for the kits alone but the quality and power output potential will be far greater than the powerdyne kit youve been lookin at. You'll have to spend a few hundred bux on fuel injectors, maybe a pump and then a few hundred more on a tune. Ive come to the conclusion that both of those are going to be fine for a daily driver. With the sts you can simply stay out of boost by shifting early and with the procharger you can stay in low boost by shifting early. I'm in the same boat as you. I've got approximately the amount youve stated saved up so far and I'm lookin at a few kits.

If youve got fabrication skills you're best bet might even be to make your own kit using truck exhaust manifolds. It looks like those that have gone that route save a lot of money (couple thousand) over buying a complete kit. I think you lose AC however using the manifolds plus it could take you a while to complete. GL with whatever you end up going with.

I'd look to find a good used ATI ProCharger P-1SC or D-1SC kit, which would be in the price range you are looking to spend. Here is a link to a list I compiled that might help you out a little. Bob http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...php?service=66
