Turbo P5?

[Brandon's PR5]

Hey guys
I posted about a month ago asking your opinion on a Porsche i was looking at. The General opinion was to not get it. Well, i ran the VIN number on it and it had 159,000 miles on it when the dash read 59k. So i didn't buy the car. Now i have 2,000 in cash and i want to keep my P5. How likly is it that i could turbo my car for 2k or less. I have a buddy that can install everything to labor isn't an issue. I'm just not sure if i could find a kit under 2 grand, and if it would even be a good idea on the stock P5 engine. I could use some advice if any one has any. Thanks -B

You think putting a turbo kit on the stock engine will be ok? would i need to do anything to it?

 

[Protege5Gurly]

On low boost you should be fine -- unless its an auto tranny

u should be good if you know what your doing when installing it. id jump on matthews kit, hes selling it for $2,300 shipped.
hes had it on his car for a while and had no problems with the kit itself. hes got the cheapest kit for sale right now, so id hurry and buy it before someone else does.

i need another 300. I guess i could sell my JL audio 10 w6 V2 and my 500/1.

You will be ok as long as you dont dog the s*** out of the engine, get a voltage clamp, and get an fpr and fuel pump. Should be good for 8psi.

 

[Brandon's PR5]

good deal. SO what kind of fuel pump should i get and what kind of money are we talking?

Walboro 255 about $180

what would the average cost be to have a turbo kit installed? HiBoost for example.

 

[batmang]

u better buy matthews kit before he sells it. unless u want to pay $3000+ for a kit. jump on matthews fool! seriously, or your gonna regret it.

 

[protegeV]

average cost to install would probably be around $500
