Thread: Is this really all it would take to get turbo?

    Default Is this really all it would take to get turbo?

    This seems pretty cheap. Is that really everything? It would have been nice if he had laid it out a little more in order, but it looks complete to me.

    Minus some sort of engine management.

    I wouldn't put that on my car if it was free. you will need exhaust and ecu also.

    4k and you can have my mp62 kit and everything (but ecu) you need more 250+ whp 215+ wftlb. Pick up a MS2/3 and I will throw in a some complimentary tuning ($500-1000 cost) =D

    Plus it looks like you need the downpipe to attach to the rest of the exhaust. If you still had a stock exhaust you would need that as well, so while a deal, not the deal of the century it appears.

    You will need ECU, down pipe, oil lines (drilling your oil pan is involved), and better cooling. The inter cooler is crap and you will want a better one. $2000 to $2500 in parts.

    You would possibly be better off buying an aftermarket turbo setup. You can put together a setup for cheap, I sure did. But, you have to be pretty damned turbo knowledgeable. Admittedly, I got a bunch of stuff for free, or near free, and knowing a variety of people personally helps when looking for a deal. Including EMS, I put together everything I needed to turbo my car for well under $500. Of course, I can fabricate and weld, which makes life a bit easier.
