    How hard was the switch over? What was the final cost? I am thinking of the top swap but would rather go turbo if SC is expensive and time consuming.

    The question is how fast are you wanting to go?

    i did my SSM90 kit for $1200 bucks. but i also bought a short stack intercooler kit so subtract $550 from that. i didnt want the turbo because my car worth $5000 is not going to be worth anything after dumping 10 grand for a turbo and trans

    But you found really low prices on some parts by waiting around for used items to pop up. Don't forget that part.

    To do it with new parts it's going to run you a little over $1k.

    I would only worry about how much your car would be worth if i knew i was going to be selling it down the road. And if i did know i was going to be selling it down the road i wouldnt be doing anything to it in the first place.Shoot i bought my car for 5000 too and i have well over 5000 that i put into it myself for mods ect. But i also don't plan on selling it.
