Re: 3.4 turbo question

first off do yourself a favor and get a non-ebay turbo they are made cheaply and will fail much sooner then a more quality turbo, (i.e. mater power, turbonetics, garrett).

what do you need? Well that all depends on how much boost you plan on running, if you want to keep things cheap, run 5 psi or so. With that you just need the turbo and piping, which can be made by www.force-fed-fabrications.com . Other options would be boost gauges and boost controller, but these are not considered a must have. If you plan on running more boost then the list of mods goes on and on (heads, injectors, fuel pump, double roller timing, Bottom end (pistons, rods), push rods, cam, etc etc etc.)

5psi on a other wise completely stock motor.....maybe 230-250 to the wheels

Re: 3.4 turbo question

not sure if he has anything used around. Watch the forums, pipes go up for sale every now and then from de-mods. Also I failed to mention you will need oil feed and return lines for the turbo, and a new cone filter for the intake

Re: 3.4 turbo question

well im not exactly lucky, im in college in texas, and he just got transfered to Kansas City, MO. so if i want work done, its a **** of a drive... but hey if its gonna save me a few GRAND.. its worth the 500 miles. i mean if i can get a turbo for 250, and some good used piping, plus all the other smaller parts, im hoping for like 750-1000 dollars. then later i can get an intercooler and all that other stuff, but for right now i jsut want Power for as cheap as possible. all i have done is g2 cold air and a catback exhaust

Re: 3.4 turbo question

cheap power will come with a cost down the road...... i have a $6000 motor that is now destroyed from 1 cheap part (only had 6K miles on it )

so yeah save some more cash

Re: 3.4 turbo question

haha hope, he said 3 grand is the only kit.

that would be tiagos personal kit. the one where he made 290 hp on 5psi. its easily worth 4K for the kit. 3K is a great deal.
