What do ya think is it worth the cash? Im kind of skeptical because it looks like a bunch of universal crap that wont work.

Thanks for you help

500-700 for headers

400-500 for intakes

220-400 for test pipes/ high flow cats

1,000 - 1,600 for a good exhaust (motordyne is my favorite)

1,000 for a custom dyno tune

and about 650-1,000 dollars in labor depending on what shop fees are... or you try and do it yourself...

Wow, some of you guys are on crack. Althoug I would never buy an ebay turbo kit, it doesn't mean that you have to spend a crap load of money to boost a Z. I boosted my Z for $2700, this did not include EMS. I did all the fabricating myself, but still, it doesn't cost that much.

This is with a new Garrett turbo, new Tial W/G,.....ect. There are things that you can get used and cheap like injectors/fuel pump and a UTEC for $500.

To spend $4500 on bolt ons and gain 30whp (at most) is really stupid.

Who in the right mind would spend $4500 (guy I quoted) on I/H/E and tune to get 30whp.

Many here make force injection sound like it's brain surgery, discouraging people from doing things themselves. It really isn't that hard, there is so much information here and on the web. It's just a matter of applying yourself.

I am just saying that it can be done, just like most people here say that you need $10,000 to "properly" turbo a Z. It's two extremes, I am aware of that.
