WILL THIS WORK? BT

RE: WILL THIS WORK? BT
wow, I actually havnt found the Giac kit yet. Is it around the same price as the neuspeed or garrett k04 kits? I suppose i havent descided on an overall price paid or care too much about that, but as far as turbo-manifold-fuel-ecu, basically everything but exhaust and suspension-Id Ideally spend 1500-up to 2000. I wanted 12s to try and keep up with my roomates cars for a little, but even those would walk me with a 12sec car. So, I want the best bang for my buck, but I would ideally like a used kit/set-up to save a little doe and put towards some springs and rims. Any help is appreciated. Also the reason I was looking at the turbo on ebay is because I wanted to do part by part to save money and spend my money as I can instead of throwing it all in at once and then something happen where im in a bind or something.

yea..factor in about a grand for clutch soon after...300 is maxing out the factory clutch...and there is nothing wrong with buying piece by piece, but ebay isnt the best place to do that... and i think k04's are still backordered if im not mistaken

Lol,
You want 12's your gonna have to put up some jack. You will probably be looking at close to 4-5k with everything.
turbo (not k04, but bigger)
new clutch
fmic
software/tuning
manifold
test pipe
injectors
intake
exhaust
FPR
Good luck trying to do a bt on a tight budget, maybe you should have chose a different car if you want to run 12's.

I wanted 12s but i see its not in my budget. I said 2000 for the turbo/fuel i needed. Everyone here is stating 4-5grand but your talking with exhaust/fmic,all that. Ebay is the only place ive been looking for a turbo from because I cant find a used,cheaper one anywhere but there. I have sources for everything else but the turbo itself. any idea where the best place to get this k04 is? as for the BOV, I know no one else likes them here, but im putting one on my car. Just routing the air back in. And if I buy a GIAC program for my ecu, do I have to redo everything with the new turbo set-up. I assume I do but if i can i'd want to do that soon.

Why dont you just chip it and call it a day?
Are you chipped yet?
The chip willcost you about 600, you'll need a chip and DV. With this, your car will gain close to 50chp.
It will feel like a whole new car.
Then save up your money, and do the BT thing right, when you are ready.
I know this doesn't specifically answer your question, but since it sounds like you are on a budget, I would do chip,dv, exhaust, and drop in intake, and you should have quite a significant gain for about $1300. (includes cat-back exhaust).

t3t4 turbo $665.
manifold for $395
@ atp
get your program from upsolute. then fuel kit there is already $2000
spend little more for wasegate, piping and some other extra stuff. get 3" test pipe for better breathing for a while. and run it low boost till you get the rest.
