Hey guys, i was wondering if there was a way for me to get a cheap turbo kit,i can find a turbo at the local junkyard (old saab turbo),
like make one myself for under 1000....im not talking 100+ HP im talking just like an extra 40 or 50, to give me an edge on some of the cars
im almost beating....i have no idea what parts i need, i have someone who said they'd install it all for me, its just a matter of it being possible for
me to get stuff...im only 17 so money is the big issue..Thanks Guys!

Have you tried eBay? One of my friends goes through turbos like they are going out of style Basically what he does, is watches the turbos on eBay for one that did not make a reserve price. Then he emails the person directly and asks if they would take a rather low ball offer. This can be somewhat of a hit or miss method, and can take a while. But he has gotten Nitrous kits for $200, superchargers for $250, and I beleive a turbo (complete kit) for around $200.

Like I said, this can be a rather cumbersome way of saving some money, but if that is your main goal, you can get a nicer one for less.

Hope this helps,

 

Not sure what year Galant your running but if it is a 7G (1994-1998) you can use a DSM set up. If you have a 8G I4 (1999-2003) you can use certain parts off of a DSM. If you have the V6 then your going to have to use a turbokit from Tearstone or a supercharger from RIPP.

 

Im running an 8g...I just need enough power to beat my friends 1995 Chevy Beretta..even tho hes only 155 horsepower
i cant take the 6 cylinders on the highway, he doesnt beat me by much, prob a few feet if that...im bone stock, im not sure
intake and exhaust will put me over the edge or at LEAST put me in a tie with him...

you're gettin beat by a beretta? ****. buy an intake and do your exhaust and you'll tear him up. and if not somethings wrong. I got a 98 galant with a weapon-r ram air setup and a high-flow muffler and I'd tear a beretta apart.

 

yah man its embarrassing i know...my car seems to have NO power once i hit 100 mph...
takes me FOREVER to get to 110...

i really do need an intake though...with all this cold new england weather i could get good power.
