After I got the title I realized it was investing $12-13k in the car to make it awesome or think about trading in for something else. The turbo was a lot cheaper than me getting into a car of similar performance level.



To each his own but do take note, FI is not cheap!

Same here

Yes in your defense Top I do in fact do ALL of my work. Engine removal tear down and reassembly. BUT for those people whom have atleast the means to at least pull the motor and even if they have the know how to tear the long block down to a shortblock you have just saved yourself THOUSANDS of dollars in labor costs. Buy all of your internals personally and take your short block and parts to a shop and have them do the removal and re assembly.

I cheaped out on the fuel system and it cost me an engine.
I'm confused. Doesn't the BP turbo kit come with fuel upgrades? Or do you have to supply your own?

It does. But it doesn't come with a return system like I needed since I was running E85 and shooting for big numbers.

Got my GTM SC running great and I still owe the majority of the cars value lol, I guess it's still pretty early to tell if that was a good decision though. Sure feels like it when I hit the gas.
