![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I know this is a very common thread probably but new to this forum and looking for some information regarding potentially going turbo on my Z. Im looking to get my Z to around 400-500 HP at a budget while not being too cheap. I want to ensure every part that is prone to breaking with more power replaced so I wont run into issues down the line. I was looking at spending 3-4K not including the tune. I can save for that on the side. I know I may get roasted but just want to learn more about the process and just everything about turbos.

Nothing wrong with being on a budget … in some form or fashion every motorsports team is on a 'budget' and depending who is funding this budget is going to determine the dollars spent.
Assuming you have a DE engine you can turbo with a few add-ons for under $4k but you probably wont get 500hp. You should look to stay around 400hp to 420hp. You'll get this with around 8psi of boost and you can do it all on a stock engine and a mostly stock fuel system. Past 450hp things get pretty expensive.
I would reccomend you hang around the forum and read-up on other peoples builds and see what they did and see what they didnt do. Be respectful, be humbled, and be positive and you'll find a good home here.
Do you have any pictures of the car right now? Where in Florida are you?

I live in Kissimmee area. You know of nay shops that could help me out and are reputable. Heard of people going to shops and getting screwed over my inexperienced mechanics.
