turbo - what kind?

Postby sgunitkc » Wed Aug 02, 2006 5:07 pm

^^he's just looking out for you man...lol you shouldn't just barge into a forum and start asking random questions because that's one thing that bothers a lot of people. I know you're 19 and don't know much about cars...we can see that in your questions...I'm 19 also...and I'm still learning...a lot actually..but just a heads up...this isn't the way you should be approaching it. :multi:

I hvae one question for you...
How much money do you have to spend on the Turbo mod or superchager mod????

if you dont have at least 4 to 5 grand to even start with the basic materials needed for a Turbo or s/c... you are looking at a long road ahead of you..

Hey dude, if you are looking for a turbo JUST for the way it sounds (which it really sounds like), there are other alternatives (such as an exhaust whistler or a fake blow-off valve)... They are cheap and easy to install, but they are of absolutely no performance value (or any value besides sound) and are considered "ricey", but if it's what you want you will be contented...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TURBO-BO ... enameZWDVW

http://cgi.ebay.com/TURBO-WHISTLER-FAKE ... dZViewItem

The primary benefit of a turbocharger (or supercharger) is flat out performance, not just sound. If you want sound, get one of the above... If you want a turbo or supercharger for the gen 2, look forward to plopping down AT LEAST $6,000-$8,000...

Good luck,

-James

we'll for being 19 you asked a good questions for starters.. but having the sound is not what its all about.. Turbo is more peformance oriented.

we are just trying to let you know what a turbo kit does not exist.. unless you have money to burn its not available.

if you have other qusetions feel free to ask.. allot of questions have been addressed on the forum so use the search function..

a hint for using the search function that I learned is"

example you want to search for intake, or exhaust system.

type in Exhuast + system and the search will narrow it down more.. then if you just typed in exhaust system.. hope that made sense..

after I see that fake turbo, I don't think I want any. People will laugh at me. So, I guess I will save up some money. (maybe not)

thanks for the advices
