Re: turbo kit (4potnick)
plus an intercooler and fuel management and and ecu chipping and tuning youll be looking at a good 4500.......imo i would do a junkyard turbo with companies like greddy all youre really paying for is the name. or you could save your money for a bigger turbo
and where did you see a greddy kit for 1600?

Ebay has plenty of d-series Greddy kits in the 1500 range. Out of the box they run low psi and without an intercooler. For the money it's a good beginner kit and when upgraded it can give you pretty decent numbers. Add an intercooler, bov, bigger exhaust and downpipe, engine management, and tuning shouldn't add more than another $1000.

Yeah I have seen ebay greddy kits go for less than 1400 for the D series. O f course that is no intercooler. I think the greddy kits are a good beginning point. I did a homemade turbo the 2nd time around and just having to piece **** together that worked was a pain. Like the HF manifold for example. I COULD NOT find a turbo position that would let me keep the wastegate (internal) on installed on the turbo. So I was faced with either getting the HF manifold tapped for external wastegate, buying a different turbo or buying a different manifold. I could deal with that because I knew what I was doing, but if someone wants to get into the turbo realm easily, greddy isnt bad. I think if you have never turboed your car before, a pre-fabbed kit isnt a bad deal.
