Average cost of going turbo?



Mine is a tial knock off by XS power off of supra forums. Its a legit exact same thing without the logo's. We took a tial Q and mine apart same exact thing.

Eh from a digg ya from a roll I wouldn't worry about it. Find someone to tune a 2step lol.

Once your in boost you don't have to worry about dropping out of it. If anything spray it. If you twincharge it dude you know the heat aspect.

Nice cold intercooled turbo air ... alskgasoiuoghaeahfdshdguoghasrthg 300* angry piston detonating ex girlfriend **** fest.
 
Wow yeah man if those work out well I think I might just go that route...I thought FMICs didn't work well with this cars? And unless I'm wrong I think urlosn ran a GT45 turbo on his GP before the demod.

front mount intercoolers work good on a turbo setup, not on a blower setup.
 


Im installing this month or next. The intercoolers are great. The turbos are the questionable piece. Im not worried.

It would be twin intercooled as well.
 
Average cost would be from $2000 used kit, $2500 new base kit, $3000+ new kit with some upgrades. $2000-3500 for tranny. Then you have your costs associated with your typical build.

lol I did the engine build and turbo kit for under 3k and I didn't make a single part...
 


I have that same Tial knockoff BOV. I got it from FrozenBoost.com. It works great, once I figured out what spring to use. The spring it comes with is way too heavy.

Yeah, there are a lot of people that have! It makes you wonder why anyone spends the time and money on s/c setups that cost around the same. But the average cost of going turbo is a little higher, especially for beginners. So far I will have $2700 into engine build and turbo kit, but I decided to not skimp on the tranny, so I will not even say what I have in that. Nobody really wants to take the time to wait for a good used kit to pop up for sale or constantly search for related parts to come up cheap.

Ya I ended up cutting the spring that came with it. Where did you get that filter? Ebay or also frozen boost? What size inlet on the filter?

Onto the ebay turbo Ive seen em last a year + on many different setups pushing 20 psi + Then again in the same retrospect ive seen them falling apart in a month. Worst Ive seen was my friends 350z. He went twin ebay turbos something in the spec of a gt30r. Anyways going WOT a few weeks after install I was behind him I see black *shift* black *shift* flame, metal, blue smoke lmao

And ya its a shame people don't wait a look around for deals.
