Default I Total cost of turbo? estimates?

Ok... I just want some estimates on how much a turbo will cost... tuning, and all that stuff added also.

Turbo = ?
Installation = ?
Tuning = ?

when you say "turbo" I assume you mean every little thing.

I would count on spending at least $5-6k.

if you plan on piecing it together yourself, it might be slightly cheaper...but then again it depends what you want it to have/do...

id say around 4k and upwards

Depends on the car. If you're talking D series, you could have a reliable setup for about a grand. If you're talking H series, have a big supply of Vasoline handy.

Ok... I just want some estimates on how much a turbo will cost... tuning, and all that stuff added also.

Turbo = ?
Installation = ?
Tuning = ?

Turbo= $4500 for everything including tunable fuel management
Installation=My own time, blood, sweat, and tears
Tuning=My own time, not so much blood, some sweat (when realizing I was lean in boost), and tears when you realize how good fuel management is for your car

Oh and add on another $500-$1000 for misc tools, parts, and stuff. Plus all the money you'll spend afterwards on wanting to make it even faster...it's addicting.

This sounds about right. You could always go cheaper, but the rational that always makes the costs climb is "Do I skimp out or cough up the extra coin for piece of mind. I've already spent a few thousand, what's a few more dollars "
