Actually doing it the way they described will cost you more money in the long run.

Best way to do it is have all the parts ready for when you plan to tear down your engine and do the TT setup.

Ya beat me to it Dan! I was going to comment on this as well. 1) labor will cost much more if you do it their way. 2) i would rather have a bad *** n/a (like code3gt) so i knew it had some power without the boost; you can always add the s/c.

Here's what im doin: Gettin either a whole new forged shortblock, or forged internals on my current short. Next, i'm getting heads. Then I will buy the s/c and s/c cams and have them installed at the same time. THis way, the labor won't be horrible. Better off yet, if you have good funding, you can always just buy it all, have it all installed at once--and holy **** get ready to move after being used to 250 hp! lol

good luck!

The only reason I said what I said was because I was looking at is as a long term project. Not everyone can go out and buy all the pieces at the same time and put them on. I guess though he could collect the parts or, maybe hes got some money to blow and could do it all together. The original poster implied that he couldnt both build the engine and Turbo it at the same time. But if funding was unlimited at the time of the turbo purchase, I would do what Dan02GT said.

well, in my opinion, even if funds were limited I would still do it Dan's way--and I am. But everyone has his/her own opinion.

Either way, this guy is gonna have a nice car, puttin down some damn fine numbers!
