im sure this has been asked, thats why i searched and searched first.. if any of you know where i can get this info please just point me in that direction and you wont need to waste your time answering.. so sorry ahead of time!

you can see my small list of mods so far, but im now working on saving up for a turbo.. my question is, (i know there is a huge gap between minimum and max price) how much should i expect to be saving up? this is over all price, the actual turbo, extra parts i need to make sure i dont blow my engine, labor(unfortunately this wont be something i can do myself) and anything else i may have forgot, i know there is a huge difference between the minimum and the most you could spend, just try and give me an estimate in the middle. maybe some of you can just list how much you have spent..

 

I would say minimum would be 13k.

 

A complete, affordable, and promising kit out there is the Powerlab single turbo kit. Less than $9,000 will get you the turbo kit installed (~$7,000 for turbo kit, and ~$2,000 for the install). Guages run for about $1,000.
A shortblock for the engine build about ~$3,500, and and install for that is about (I think) $2,000. Looks like all is hovering around $14,000. Oh, and don't forget a clutch system ($600-$1,000) lol.
That's what I've gathered by reading through these forums...Its quite interesting and keeps pulling me back for more.
I wonder if shops offer discounts if all of the above is done at once at their shop?
If someone where to take on this route, what other sorts of things are likely to break? I've read axles are a recommended upgrade. I'm not sure of other things..

 

you obviously didnt search very hard...

10k

 

13k minimum? you smoking rock?



To the OP, 8k-10k is more realistic. Next time try to search a little more, there is about 1,000 of these threads and people get sick of seeing them posted every day. GL on your future build though!
