We have seen a several failures in this department lately. This is especially a big problem if you try to go over 600hp. If you want that, take it to a qualified shop who has been recommended on here.

There are a number of times in life you can not afford to be cheap. Boosting a car is one. There are a number of supporting mods needed to do it right & reliably.
I would avoid buying a boosted car unless I knew the history / owner of said car & really knew what I was getting into. The last thing you want to do is blow a lot of $$$$$ on someone's nightmare as it will smoke any savings you had & then some to make it right.
