I ain't no spoilt brat and like everyone else here work hard for our own money too, so ---- If you do have as much talent and idea about how it all works WHAT ARE YOU ASKING US FOR?

Now if you want to turbo your car DO IT it is your car and you will get a lot of enjoyment and anger in doing so, as I have just done, but with a little twist. I went for a motor conversion $1750 they are cheep as now and there is one on ebay for $2000, but if that is a big outlay at once for you get the bits as you go it will cost a little more and the result wont be as good (depending on how far you go). The first thing you need to know is what power fig do you want? Be realistic this is a N/A motor. I am still runing the N/A computer, the only reason you need a t computer is for the boost control, I am useing a greddy profec B2 from ebay $320. What intercooler setup you looking at? standard-plenty on ebay, aftermarket- keep away from the monza ones THEY ARE sh*t no better then the f6 ones(pruven on the weekend) either the hybred one or my recomendation is Rapids ones they are the cheepest ones that out perform ther price.Remember you want to produce as much hp at the lowest boost pressure. parts I recomend for you are 1 flash tuner $500-6002 intank pump $1303 injectors $50-3504 boost controler $200-3505 aftermarket intercooler piping $130-5006 intercooler $150-5507 exhaust(cat back)$500-15008 valve springs $300-400+450-550fitting(dont do it your self)the valve springs are needed because when the car is under boost the boost pressure forces the valves to open a little on the weeker onesGood luck with it and as people have said there is no cutting corners with these cars but with this site and ebay you can cut a lot of cost on the RIGHT parts.
