Just curious, what's the average cost (not including transmission) of going turbo? I was going to just stick with my supercharger build but lately I've been considering a turbo too.

turbo kits alone can run to about $3500, which includes alot but even if you use a cheaper kit or there is more modding to do a few thousand isnt excactly pocket change...

Im doing mine for 1k minus tranny.
The main problems as far as cost is the downpipe and crossover. The other stuff can be had cheap, like the powerlogs and other things. If you can find someone to make your downpipe and crossover you are set for a lot cheaper build.

How are you doing yours so cheap?Originally Posted by minichopper6hp

Doing a lot of the stuff himself.

Making the dp and crossover. Those are the most expensive parts of the build if i were to buy from zzp.

My turbo kit was sub 2k. Just look for deals on used low mile kits. Although be careful because some of the kits ive seen go up lately are beat to hell.
+ Hes doing an ebay turbo that right there drop price dramatically.

I had a split second when i did my build when turbo sounded real good to me but not knowing turbos at all i dropped the thought fast
Id figure basic kit and other stuff like tuning and so on 3500 or so

Ebay everything!! Lol we will see how it lasts. Hopefully good. I will say that this bov that i got from ebay is damn nice though:
44mm!!!

Youre damn right.
03-01-2010
or you have tiny hands. one of the two.
03-01-2010
No, its pretty much just huge. My wastegate is the same size, ill get it this week. My turbo is alot bigger though
You need an STI.

no ****. ill pick it up next tax season.
03-01-2010
happened this tax season? A year is too long.
03-01-2010
had a good amount of unemployment last year, tax returns blew. im in the process of picking up a bike to play with for the summer. we've also got a little work to do on the house this year. **** happens.
03-01-2010
I was unemployed all last year. The only reason i got some cash is because im in school. Oh well next year right? I just picked up a gen v so i think i might go twin charged.
03-01-2010
I heard twin-charging wasn't worth it because you can't use both at the same time? Aren't the ebay turbos crap or did you find a good one? If I can actually do it for under or around I grand...I might go for it.
03-01-2010
No twin charging gets the turbo goin. IDK, just keeping my options open. I just dont want massive turbo lag. The ebay turbos arent the best, but they look well constructed IMO so im gonna see how they work out.

You know someone who can weld/ fabricate a downpipe?
