How much would a turbo cost?

tearstone.com he has a great kit and then he has the "budget KIT" his kits are the best way to go but you can peice together something yourself if you want... that is what I did with my GS because the 1G2G manifold and turbo can work however I wouldnt recomend doing that

you need alot more than a turbo to have it all work. and on a 3G your looking at $4000+ for to get it all and have the car running 100%

agreed. there is alot more to turboing a car than just slapping a turbo on it. there are supporting mods that need to be done also.

Even to peice together your own turbo kit it will cost about $3500 ( that is what I spent on mine without IC piping and a fuel pump yet and no labor because we were doing ourselves) and that isnt even the thought of dyno tuneing it yet either
