Default Turbo Help

Is it possible to get all the components I need for a turbo with a budget of 1,000 dollars? I know sombody that will install for free, so I dont need to worry about that! Im just confused on what parts i need besides the piping, bov, inter cooler, turbo, boost gauge, oil return line, But do I need to upgrade my injectors and pistons and sparkplugs or are the bolt ons just bolt on and start driving? somebody let me know, please if $1000 is realistic enough to get a turbo, and everything i need

It might be enough for a turbo , but thats about it. No tuning, other needed parts, etc.

False. There are MANY $1,000 setups out there. You'll have to read and learn to do a lot on your own, but it's VERY possible.

I believe you, but to me a 1000$ turbo kit just screams cheap.

I'll take cheap 13's over boring 16's any day of the week. It's very possible to make a reliable turbo setup for under $1000.

i'd wait a lil longer and save up more money. im sure you can build a decent kit on prob 2k.
last thing u need is to go cheap and then end up fixing things down the road.
buy quality stuff the first time.
trust me ive learned that lesson many times.

You can go cheap and have quality stuff if you take your time and know what you're doing.

Cheap, fast, reliable. Pick any two.

dont forget about tunning. hondata s200 will run you a few hundred bucks, unless you know someone that'll tune it for you with crome etc.
