About how much of a hp gain should i expect from adding a turbocharger, can you guys just give me a range.. (i prefer people that dyno'ed their car before and after)

umm... depends on how much boost you want to use... i usually guess about 12hp per lb of boost. you can prollly safely boost 7-8lbs on yer stock motor.. on pump gas.

yea, thats works out about right, i wish i got that GREDDY TURBO WITH INTERCOOLER FOR 2200 shipped, but i didnt want to spend all the money on everything and my tranny would have when, which would be another 1500 bucks or so... he ended up putting the kit on ebay and sold it for 2500 really quick... i still have nightmares about losing that KIT haha
