RE: Need help finding the right kit!
Just for refrence there are kits like these.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-04...spagenameZWDVW
and
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/87-94...spagenameZWDVW
Now these obviously arnt the best around(and the twin turbo one isnt complete).. and god... please..... dont have people just click those links then start flamming this post with garbage about how these kits are all crap.... The only point I am trying to make is that there has to be some middle ground.... A modest kit somewhere between these junk, $999 kits and full blown racing, 800 HP monster kits for almost $7K

Why would you need to pay 3,600 for install???I wouldn't mind having my car down for a few weeks even and doing it myself. However I have access to pretty much any tool I could need and people that are more knowledgeable then I and willing to help.

RE: Need help finding the right kit!
Well, thats why I said turbo was personal preferance.... Also, if you have to remove tubes to do motor or trany work, what will it have mattered that you had somone else install your turbo??? I understand the basics of what has to be done with installing a turbo and have another car so like I said, It can be down for a while so I can work my way through it and done right.
Anyway, were getting off topic, anyone else, no of any other turbo kits? HP cant be the ONLY manufacturer.

RE: Need help finding the right kit!
Please stop saying cash = fast. Thats the most obvious statement anyone can make, and your not helping.
You guys must all be rich.....
how about I pick these two...
Moderately fast, moderately priced
if no one makes such a kit... then I am SOL and will supercharge it. But I would like to look before I just roll over and give up.

Thanks Code3gt, I had actually seen that one before, but 2 problems:
A.A little more aggressive then I am looking for (I do not need a system capable of 700+ Hp
B. Starting price of $6,400.... OUCH!!
However I do like that kit alot. A tuned down version of that system would be really nice. Thanks for the first promising link, got anything a little less aggressive you can recommend?

RE: Need help finding the right kit!
yeah lucki, from the sound of it, I believe you are correct, plus from what I had researched before I made this post my options were Used, Crap, or REALLY expensive. Unless someone has a ace in the hole, looks like I am going supercharger. Still gonna be quick ;-)
