I didnt mean to say I have a P5 turbo, but what if i put a turbo on my P5, sorry!
the MP5 will kick a**
a CAI would probably do nothing for a turbo'd P5/MP3/Pro...if its intercooled, the intake charge is probably as cool as its gonna get at that point. of course, you could have sprayers on the intercooler, or have NOS to further cool the intake charge. after having a turbo built, i think a proper exhaust, a well-designed intake mani, and a good tuning will be the most we can do to further enhance the turbo. oh yeah...and once we can get some forged internals...we'd see some CRAZY power goin on...

closer than you think...
well, finally got a call back from these guys...the huge delay was in receiving the turbo...
based on my conversation today, i'll be getting a call sometime next week to set an appointment to bring my car in. everything's already been fitted on one of their cars, so just actual implementation & making sure nothing blows up.
i don't have a solid answer in regards to gain or price since that still needs to be tweaked. i was told we're looking at anything from 180hp to 220 hp (from the original 140), depending on what the car can realistically handle. keep in mind that my goal is to have a drivable car for everyday use that's just faster. and since I don't have the greatest knowledge of the inner workings of the engine, i want minimal mainenance. soo...i'll keep you posted after i get my car next week. i was told they'll pro'lly need my car for around 2 weeks.
as for price, that's to be determined on the fuel management system...

Time to wait...
Ok...Tri-Point official has my car now & they are starting the fitting of the turbo/intercooler. It's basically going to be a work-in-progress to see what gain the engine can safely handle, so i'll keep you posted as soon as they get back to me. That'll also determine if any internal reworkings needs to be done to the basic engine (ie: forged parts, adding a limited slip, etc.).
ETA: 1-2 weeks for news.
keep yer fingers crossed.

Nice...
So it looks like Tri-Point beat out Bell. It'll be nice to see what the motor can do stock.

price
of course. as of right now, we're tenatively looking at around 3K. that's what they told me (no labor costs due to R&D). but the 3K can fluctuate depending on fuel management or any other tinkering required (aside from the turbo/intercooler). and as for the dyno, you can be sure i'll have that for you guys.
