Going Turbo, By Summer of 07
- Thread starter Matthew1785
- Start date
Yeah I think it will go smooth. I run over everything that needs to be done in my head everynight. It has helped, because I have thought of things that I need that I didnt realize before. I truthfully think that I can start sun up on the 17th and finish by sundown. but, I have two extra days just in case. never know.iracemine said:

$750.00 as first down payment for the $1500.00 for the turbo kit
which brings my total cost to as of now $1436.00/$2200.00
my remaining deposit of $750.00 will be made the day the turbo is installed i will also need to pay for the welding to connect the turbo downpipe to my exhaust which i assume will cost around $30.00-$70.00 which should put me around 2200-2300.00 for the final installation price!

Did you get the turbo in Matthew? I got mine in yesterday, but I hit alot of obstacles. I definitely don't have a/c anymore. I broke my damn downpipe too. lol I rigged it up temporarily til I get another one. I still have to put in the 02 clamp and hook up the oil pressure gauge lines. I was surprised, I didn't even hear the turbo spinning when I cranked it up to check the fuel pressure. I guess I got the wastegate open to far. I need to close it a little. I took it out to see if it actually ran, not to boost or anything. it tried to boost and started to take off, but I let off the gas so I wouldn't lean out. then I heard the HKS give a little squeak. Can't wait till I get the o2 clamp in and get her tuned. Maybe I can get it done in between the thunderstorms we are having today.
