Hey, I'd like to add a turbo to my P5 in the future, but I don't want to have any problems with my car. I'd like it to function like an MSP, but maybe with a little more power. I would get a turbo timer to take care of the turbo but other than that, I don't want to have to worry about blowing my engine or anything. I'm looking at the HiBoost kit $4000 (www.hiboost.com) and the Wagner Motorsports kit $3200 (www.wagnermotorsports.net). I'd like to get a complete kit so I don't have to worry about parts not working together. What do you guys think? Oh, and I have a manual.
Turbo P5?

Hi boost is gonna give you a little more power I think, but Wagners a great kit for the price too. It's basically a little less power for an $800 difference. Personally, I'll be going with either total custom setup or hiboost when I turbo mine.

NOT to sounds like a dick or something but you dont seem to know anything about turbo'ed car.
turbo timer allows idle time so the bearing and feel line wouldn't coke'd up. It will not protect your engine from denotation, ping, back fire, etc
you can get a complete kit but i would highly recommend you to get a aem ems tunning system and have the car dyno tune.
if you just want little more boost, get n20 instead.

I know what a turbo timer does, I just mentioned it to make a point that I wanted to stay on the safe side (even protecting the turbo). Anyways, thanks for the advice so far. Basically, I'd like to have some extra power, but I don't want to worry about putting too much stress on the engine. I've looked into NO2, but it seems a little more risky and the cost, although much much cheaper in the beginning, can get expensive as time goes on because you need to keep refilling.

I suggest more research and not just info from this site....Nitrous is MUCH cheaper, makes very good power and puts less strain on a motor than a similar outputted turbo set-up. Nitrous is only one during useage, turbo is on whenever you load the engine.
