RE: turbo
yeah. you're gonna spend 900 on a good turbo, all the piping and everything will be another 1500 or so. then a 200 dollar tune, and be running 5-7psi.. and with 7psi, you'd be gaining about 100 horse.. that's it.. for almsot 3 grand. to up the boost, you're gonna need new clutch, new pistons, new rods, prolly new crank, new heads, new cam, a intercooler, better driveshaft & rearend. fuel pump, fuel injecters, colder plugs, prolly better fuel lines also. etc etc.

They sell kits. I'm not sure how $6,000 answers your question, but oh well.

You can get a stroker kit with forged components, and then on top of that run up to 12 psi of boost. You will make some serious power, and with a turbo running that much boost, you shouldn't need to worry about your heads too much.

RE: turbo
6,000 USD??????? ...hmm ive had qoutes for last than thatfrom force-fed-fab for around 3500-4000, a guy here in Va for around 3,000 for a custom built kit with all name brand parts with great reps. but those prices arent including labor, but it shouldnt be all that much. needless to say i went local with a shop in my town. my kit pushes 10psi of boost and costed me right under 4,000.
