turbo Options

[kash1355]

i am debating whether or not to do exterior mods or engine mods to my 95 gt. Just for like a ball park figure, how much would it cost to do a turbo mod for my engine, like parts and labour (what it should cost).

It's not the turbo that is reliable per-se. It's all the components together as a package. You need to monitor the engine vitals, and to do that, you need good gauges. Good, accurate gauges can run you upwards of $1,000. I am talking boost, EGT, oil pressure, fuel pressure, wideband O2 sensor...you need to keep an eye on those all the time. You need reliable components...those are not cheap. Good injectors are not cheap ...good fuel pumps are not cheap, good turbos are not cheap, etc. Everything will add up to more than what you would want to spend. But if you do it right the first time, you will be good.

If you push the engine too much, even with the best EMS and components, you will not get not even a quarter mile out of the engine. Two common and easy ways to break the engine: bad tuning and pushing it more than what the internals can handle before they fatigue and fail from being under so much stress. You can cheap out and make you a cheap kit, but you will not enjoy your engine as much as if you would with good components and monitoring instruments.
