Well my time to chime in. I did the 1500 dollar build but mines cost a little more because I went with some additional things (Power Pipe, TB & Plenum, Tial Bov and intercooler). Total cost 2170 bucks (Thanks Kerns!!). It can be done but you will need to have patience. Also if you haven't paid attention to anything that was said or suggested listen to this. No matter what setup you go with make, sure it's tuned and tuned properly, or you will be like me, having to buy a new/used engine. BTW guys I get her back next week!

Thanks again everyone. I found a used vortech t trim complete kit with an anderson power pipe and aftercooler for 3 grand. If he can come down a bit then that might work for me.

Also, jw, If I were to get a kenne bell boost a pump for my stock pump, would that extra voltage allow me to not have to drop the tank and put the bigger pump in which comes with the kit? Thank you.

Here is the ad:

It appears to come with everything, however he did mention that "what you see is what you get."

If anyone knows about the boost a pump allowing me to not have to change the stock pump that would be awesome. Thanks!

Great! Thats good to know. On my 91 firebird I had to remove the rear axle to drop the tank which sucked.

Thank you.

Turbo kits are expensive and seem to be problematic compared to a vortech kit

tell em schmidty, those pesky v6s with empty bottles are a heartbreaker
