Yo guys. I'm thinking of going the ls turbo route. I know a decent amount about the whole situation, but by no means am a proffesional. So I'm looking to spend around 2000 on a turbo setup including a tune. I'm going to run stock internals with arp head studs. I'm looking for a reliable 250whp with full boost at around 5k? I don't want much lag, but a medium of 0-whatever pulls and rolling pulls, you know? Sorry, it sounds like I'm a total noob and just am being lazy, but I want to know from the pros, what parts my turbo setup should consist of. What type of BOV, FMIC, etc.

good with $2k for a turbo setup

you must gonna use junkyard turbos or buy a ebay turbo kit

Meh, I've heard I can piece together a decent setup for 2k. May take time to find the right pieces, but I think its doable. Why, what are you thinking?

tune - 4-500
management ? free(assuming you have the chipped ecu 1-200) - 495
head set and arp studs - 300
manifold 3-500 used
down pipe 1-300 used
piping (i made mine for 60bucks but have a friend that welded them) up to 100
intercooler 100 ebay
no name blow off valve 50
wastegate 50-100 used

thats 2100 for that w/o a system like neptune / hondata
you still need fuel system, injectors, and a turbo.

it can be done, you just need to look.

but i think 2000 is a little low to do it right with decent parts.

(i threw the estimate together)
