Default turbo on an auto GS 99

ok so im looking for a reliable shop near the Delmarva peninsula that can install a full turbo setup and tune it for me so my car wont blow up for around 6.5k, is this impossible? i dont wanna mess with a build because im not experienced enough but i also want to do an auto to manual swap along with the turbo kit which do i need to do first because i know that the ecu for the auto and manual will be different i also currently have 2.5 in. header and exhaust with 3 in. tip is that sufficient for a turbo setup on a GS? also i have stock internals so i need to know what needs to be changed to get better hp. any help is appreciated

sell your car for $2000 and spend the 8500 on a perfected already done turbo gsr

seriously, you would be money ahead.

and 9 is just the ask, who knows what he would actually take. clean car, good parts and ready to go

if you want a car with a built bottom end, those exist too, just keep your cash in hand and buy a car that someone has already sunk 15k into

i'd sit on your money for a few months and there are two really big reasons why

1. you'll learn a LOT. personally speaking i started buying before i really had a handle on how to setup a honda turbo. long story short i wasted money in some ways

2. keep looking on ebay, craigslist and honda tech for a turbo gsr that's actually done right. you'll likely be able to trade your stock car plus cash for one already done. you probably won't find one right away but people who need money and another car come up more than you might think.

I would agree but if he doesn't build it himself then he won't understand how to diagnose or fix a problem
