Default $10,000

Ok here's the deal, if you were given $10,000 to spend on your 350z. How would you use the money.

EX:

I would buy the "Greddy TT Kit" - $6,000
Nice set of Rims - $2000
Audio System - $1000
Carbon Fiber Lip&Skirts - About $1000

$10k would cover your turbo kit, the install, a tune, and some of the engine internals and transmission upgrades that you would need to 'reliably' transfer all of that power down to the pavement. It's a cruel world we live in

You're going to need to whole $10K for the turbo man...you have to factor in:

1) Cost of kit
2) Cost of Labor
3) Cost of Tuning
4) Cost misc. items
5) Cost supporting mods like gauges and stuff
6) Cost of surprises

$10k is just enough IMO to do turbo. You don't have enough for other things.

10k wouldnt touch what you need to make a Greddy kit reliable. You people are living in a fantasy world.

you can't just roll on a nice set of rims without tires. add another 1k on your rim budget for your tires.

LOL thanks for the advice, but the idea was to see what you would do, with the money.

I would not go turbo unless I had double the cost of the build.

first thought: 'what happens if I blow my engine'

if all you have is juuust enough to cover the install... don't do it.
