Do you want looks or performance? Let me know and I can try and put something together for you :) You're close to us too!

haha, I agree with RCZ and cjanik's set-up for that price range. But I agree with you to save and go FI. Did that make sense?!

LoL! those that mentioned FI... $5k is a long way from $20k+ for FI..

OP,
what are your goals? Performance or Show?
If you have are unsure, I would recommend considering working from the ground up.

GL:tup:

20K?!?! where are you getting your figures from?

I think FI and FI are getting confused.
FI can mean FI exhaust or Forced Induction.

I'll clarify... Forced Induction. LOL, either way though. Neither one is gonna cost 20K

10k for the kit, plus bs is close to $14000. now add in "just in case" extras and your closing in on 20k.

Well for those of us that have the means and know what we're doing....

THIS + DIY = right around 9k (+ or - a little)

How do you figure? Even if you only calculate the parts alone you have to take into consideration the following:

(estimated prices for simplicity sake, keep in mind different brands have different prices)

$8500 Turbo Kit
$1000-1500 3" exhaust
$300-500 TP/HFC
$2000 Clutch/Flywheel (twin or triple plate)
$550 Boost Controller
$4000 Engine Management/Tuning (Fcon)

Total comes out to $16350 on the conservative side with no labor. All the listed stuff needs to be done plus a few more add ons to support a TT build. Just FYI

LoL! I have been around for a little bit, and have seen how things work out....
I look forward to your $9k FI thread.:tiphat:

Well, I gues we'll find out if it can be done. See I have a lot of things at my disposal so I know the I as in me personally could do this all with just buying the kit. I'm just saying for arguments sake that it CAN be done.

part of my 20k total is for parts that might break. im no novice around a set of tools either, but you wont see me f'in around adding boost to a $40k machine

and if i broke something big........ $$$$$$

I can understand all the "what ifs" and I can understand the concerns w/ FI but I'm just saying that with the right resources that it can be done w/ just the purchase of a kit from a company.

I too have a lot of things at my disposal. :) I can assure you it can not be done DIY for 9K with all the supporting mods you will need.

Im planning on staying away from FI for the time being, at least until the warranty is up. Im looking at Fast Intentions exhaust w/ HFC's right now. Also the Stillen Ultra Long Tube CAI. Any objections to this at all? Or would this sound decent? Hey Ryan i will prolly have some work for you when i get home. Get ready!
