Thinking about a new route... Im just in the beginning stages of thinking about my next project. Been thinking about other cars/trucks too but this is the F-body option that I cant decide on.
I really want a Turbo car, nothing crazy just 400-450whp. I was thinking the STS is the best option for this.
Options 1: Turbo my car. If I do this I would have to get rid of my LTs, probably switch cams away from the Hot Cam, and get a built 6 speed, thats what I can think of now. Take a look at my For Sale add or Fquick page to see the current mods. All mods were done by the previous owner so I wont take a huge hit on mod costs.
Option 2: Sell my car and buy a cheap A4 car. Install STS and maybe stall. This would probably be the easiest route. I would probably be ok with the stock 10 bolt in an A4 car, but I dont know. Keep in mind I would have to sell my current car at a huge loss most likely if I go this route. Or just try and find one built the way I want it already.
Option 3: Something else, please elaborate on what.
Im not dead set on anything really, just thinking about what may be easiest or cheapest.
EDIT: Maybe posting this in the FI section would have been better. Maybe Ill do both if I dont get much from here.

If you are not in it for numbers/times and need a cheap turbo setup then sts is probably your best bet. You should look up other kits too, you might decide against rear mount if the price is right...

I like my stuff to work though. And I like to drive my stuff hard. Ive seen people post here where they FUBAR the 6 speeds under stock power with less miles than what I have.

Im with option 0.
Idk if its just me, but personally I just don't think its worth it to spend thousands and thousands to turbo these cars for only 400-450RWHP. You can easily attain those same numbers in a cam only car or cam/heads for MUCH cheaper. Although you cannot beat the turbo sound, I feel its just not worth it to put down such low numbers.
