actual kit or individual parts because the cheapest kit is about 2500 with dealer wholesale and its proven to work efficiently.

yeah but your mechanic skills better be up to scratch (such as welding the manifold finding junkyard parts that are functional like 300z t3 eclipse bov etc.

come to think for 1500 you might swing that on ebay but read the turbo faq posts. forgetting one step could ruin all your hard work!!

sure, but it takes a lot of time to source the parts and a lot of planning.

you can buy a complete turbo header from http://www.jgstools.com/turbo for a pretty good price. they are a good company and have good service. i got my turbo header from that place.

go with an electric turbo.. it won't cost you much and you will have forced induction..

yeah maybe but it also says it adds 75 horses for 15 seconds!!! just like Nitrous Oxide but it also starts at 3000 and has batteries ..... sounds like alot of hassle for such a short while to me

changing the motor has its risks too. stay with reputable business because my friend got raped on his 240 by afterdark tuning and he now has a sr20 s14 with no harness and no money.....( Adam sux :angry7: )

If you could keep the motors cool you could run it longer than 15 seconds I bet.
