piecing together a turbo kit even with junkyard parts with only 500 is going to be quite the task. check around junkyards for old turbo cars there, for turboparts/wastegates and IC's

N.O.S that is the only think that will be worth while for 500 unless you got lucky and found a turbo off of a civic that was wrecked and can put it on your car. Would a turbo from a diff car with alot of other parts be really unstable and prob. fuck up the engine fast??

so you in NC, im from NC too. Holla. but this dude said that he can make a turbo for 400 dollars. 14b turbo= $100 sparso(dont know the real name) intercooler= $100 and the other parts for cheap. is that right

right now not much at all AEM CAI, Chrome tips, sickers(what do they say 5 hp apeice) colored vents, I had a kit on it but i took it off and sold it because i wanted a diff. one, I have a a half decent system in it just enough to get by right now. I was planin on doin it up really nice but i loved it and just wanted to drive it as much as possible. So i bought another sol with a blown engine and im in the process of savin money to make it the ultimate Show car/drag car/daily car. I would love to get up with you and see your shit but it would have to be sometime towards the fall cause im goin on the mass. for the summer. I'm leavin in about a week so i dont have time right now but hit me up sometime if you really want to kick it.

you'll get as much hp from a 75 shot of nos for the 500 bucks you got then from a turbo. u will have to build ur own turbo set up and the only way u will do that for that much is if u junkyard it. save more money and stop being chep. if u build a turbo then it will probly blow ur engine quick anywayz. just go for nos if u only want to spend 500 bones.
and we r not "niggas". got it!:finger:

oh well then if u want hp from the touch of the gas then go for a sc. if u want the power to kick in at about 3500 rpm then go turbo. u will experience the turbo lag with the bigger the turbo. check out the july edition of SPORT COMPACT CAR for a good article on what turbo u should get and all that good stuff.

if you check out a pretty recent HCI issue.....they got parts from here and there and put it on a b16.....i don't really think it's a good idea...but it seemed pretty cool.....i think they got a t3 turbo from an SHO or some shit like that....i d on't remember.....put on an intercooler from another old domestic car.....it had well over 200 whp.....pretty impressive.....
i think you might've been talking about a "spearco" intercooler???....maybe....i don't know if you can get it for 100.....i think alot of pro racers use spearco.....myles bautista's EX-car....the twin turbo celica.....it had spearco intercooler.
