naw, the turbo will still be there when you get out of school, and it will be more fun to drive while in college anyways. and 2k is actually cutting it close to get all new. mine for my ZC is just gonna be like 500 bucks though, cuz I already got the turbo froma friend, manifold is gonna cost me 20 bucks for the plate steel, tubes are free and friends making it, downpipe and piping are cost of materials as well, the IC is 40 bucks off a saab. the oil lines probably like 50 bucks, then theres the FMU for 100 and the missing link for 40. the BOV is 75.
instead of the missing link/fmu I might just get the SAFC.
but its reccomended to have a used turbo rebuilt but mine spins good and has no shaft play at all so im just gonna hope for the best
