    I don't think wants a pile of rubble after his first WOT run. You need at LEAST 7 grand to properly run a turbo setup.

    Then I think your decently misinformed...it takes A LOT more than that to run a solid reliable turbo setup on these cars.

    Then if you DO get a good setup running for 4 grand...your going to need another 2K+ when your transmission takes a crap.
