My local shop will install a GTM STG1 TT, OS Giken Clutch, LW Flywheel, tune, oil cooler and I'm sure I'm missing something for about 14k. OP are you ready to spend this much. And you still need to get exhaust, gauges, and whatever else you may need.

Ron, VQStryker, and I have similar builds (although I went with Greddy). Am am sure that I hit 20k in parts/labor/tuning, but I had to be a little different and go with some "interesting" products......

Whatever you think your budget is, put that together and an OMFG WTF fund as well. My budget was actually 23k (came in under budget) and I have a dedicated CC with a nicely sized limit for the WTF fund.





Turbos..........what turbos

Ditto... I spent enough money to get a cheap used GT-R or a bunch of nicer faster cars, but I'm not too crazy about anything else out there.

It definitely hungers for more power... hopefully in a few more weeks.

Well the Greddy is priced a little higher than the GTM when you include everything to make it turnkey. I did go with Competition Clutch instead of OS Giken and some other custom stuff. I did round up a bit, but not by much. Hopefully I can keep up with you at the very least, lol........

He must have missed the memo that said you didn't need two turbos if they're rear mounted.
