Default Noob FI info-03 Z

So Im in a situation where my car wil most likely be totaled out and I plan on buying it back after the settlement. After I fix the car back to the way it was, I'm considering doing some sort of F/I. My question is, is there a way to piece together a turbo kit? Can anyone provide me some info/advice regarding this sort of project? I won't be able to buy an entire kit outright, so this way I can start piecing this together as funds become available. Can or has this been done before and whats the best process to handle this type of project. What would I need, and where should I start?

I have an 03 enthusiast Z with 75k miles. I really appreciate any insight you can provide.

Look into a god speed kit they are pretty affordable.

If not call GTM and ask Sam if you can buy the kit in phases.
Buy the piping first then the next year when you save the money buy the intercooler, when you save up more money pick up the manifolds ect ect.

with a totaled platform i would abandon any dreams of FI until you get the car running at 100% , believe me FI has its downfalls as well, the last thing you want to be doing is troubleshooting a platform thats already compromised one way or another... just my two cents

Take the money and buy a Z that is already built. You won't be able to sell a car with a salvage title.
