(3) Intercooler - $1,325
(4) Engine management system ( ie Greddy, Utec ) - ???
(5) Engine management guages ( ie Defi, AEM) - $1,000
(6) upgraded clutch & flywheel (ie RPS ) - $1,500
(7) Greddy TT exhaust - $1,200
Total Estimated Cost: $12,000

You may also need to upgrade:
(a) Cooling system - especially if you live in a hot climate
radiator ( ie Koyo) - $450
oil cooler (ie Nismo, Stillen, ARC) - $300
power steering cooler ( ie Nismo, Stillens, ARC) - $200
Total Estimated Cost: $950

Note: Your TT kit should have all the associated hardware.
Hope this helps!!

i was leaning towards the Turbonetics single turbo or the Vortech SC kit

is one particularly easier to install than the other?

what would be the bare minimum to install one of these kits?

thanks

if you think 3k for a greddy kit is too expensive then you prolly dont need to have a greddy kit. Most shops will tell you alone the wastegates are a PITA but hey its your car your motor your money.

Not sure if you were refering to my math, or the other posters.

$9600 out the door for Stage I installed and tuned to wastegate pressure. Safe, cheap, and effective.

My concern for people looking to go FI is the "bigger is better syndrome". TWINS ARE NOT NECESARILY BETTER THAN SINGLES. Each system has advantages and disadvantages determined by the customer's needs & goals. IMO A thoughtful approach requires understanding what these systems can & cannot do, how they will affect the car, cost, and the additional upgrades required.
