Awesome, I'll hit you up and maybe come pass by the shop before I get all that just to meet everyone and shoot the chit.


Hey Will, I also wanted to let you know if you're looking for a Tacoma or ANY kind of truck hit me up before you make a decision. I get cost on vehicles at any Ray Brandt dealer and close to it at most dealers down here because of my dad being a mechanic for so long he knows a bunch of people. If you want one used I can probably get it for a price you couldn't turn down. Just hit me up when you decide to go car shopping!

Just so you have an idea, I got my lawyers daughter (got her a car for graduation) a absolutely fully loaded Rav4 that came out to like 31k for I think 24k out the door.

when considering Fi.. might wanna consider Utec (700$ish), Return Fuel system (600$++)ish.. fuel injectors... even down to the fact that you'll be tapping into the oil pan (you'll need 5 quarts of oil, and might as well change the filter.) Gauges aren't cheap and you'll also need a wideband. This shIzz adds up is all i'm trying to say man. I got my Turbonetics kit for around 3500 and i did the complete install myself. Do you know how much it costs for a tune for FI? I'm not trying to discourage you.. i'm trying to help you.

Tune a few hundred as well. Installation of fuel return, spacer, etc. will add up as well.

There is more to it than just slapping on a turbo kit than the kit itself

Thats extra labor

It'll probably increase, but maybe a few hundred or may not raise it at all.

I'll run you when I'm ready

400whp would easily beat a C6 vette... 350whp would even be a pretty good race.

Most places will at least charge 1-2k for install of a tt kit. Have to be weary of where you get it installed. My cousin and I can install it for you for a good price too if you want. How far out do you think you are from going FI? 9-10k at least for a setup on stock block.

edit: Just saw you were going single turbo. Either way, labor isn't cheap.

I have beat all the c6 vettes I came across, including a couple at the track. Not saying I will beat all of course, but I have beat several.

No idea but Performance Factory did have a special for the Vortech, $7k installed and tune with the UTEC/frs included.
