You cant ride around with half of a turbo kit on your car, just keep on saving your money and look till you find one you can afford

setting and meeting goals is just as rewarding as turboing your car! getting in a rush tears things up!

good luck

I think I know what he's asking, but I have a better route for you.

When fab'ing all of your intercooler piping, you don't have to leave it on the car. When you're done fitting and welding it, remove it, then put your car back together and drive it. And when you have all of your parts to make a final product, then bolt all of your parts onto your car at one time.

Installing a high flow fuel pump, larger injectors, wide band O2, fuel regulator, engine management onto your car isn't soooo bad since you can temporarily cut down the injector duty cycle so that it provides the same amount of fuel as the oem fuel system. However, it's just not toooo common to do this. I mean, you shouldn't temporarily modify/install anything unless you just had to.

It's just not toooo common for instance for someone to install an intercooler kit onto their car and wait until they get the rest of kit to be completely done.

Patience is the key! Take your time! If you end up never getting a turbo kit installed, then it just wasn't meant to be.

P.S.- Another good thing to do is to find someone that has the same car, and the same setup that you are wanting, and have them help you. This way, they will know exactly what to do as far as the installation of the kit is concerned, and will save you lots of time. Just a thought!
