Canned tunes have "meh" timing tables.

Canned tunes are junk and are dumbed down for people that just want something better than stock but aren't going to benefit from a custom or WB tune...even though every car will.

Dirt cheap turbo kits also aren't dirt cheap for everyone that can fab up all the pipes needed to make it work in their parents basement either. But who am I to judge; keep at this $300 turbo kit business and telling everyone the other end of the spectrum is where it's at, when it isn't.

Eddie, in the REAL WORLD...a base turbo kit, or a used one...will run you at least $1,500...as that is what most Z3 or equivalent kits ship for off the forums...maybe a little less if there are missing pieces or the kit has seen some mileage. Will a turbo kit out perform a stout heads/cam M90 build? Most likely. Is it hard on the transmission...yeah, just as bad a dumb blower setup.

You'll still break sh1t, and you'll still be wanting more after a week of beating on the new setup...been there, done that. Just a friendly heads up.
thanks for giving me good info, ive only been on here since January and so far ive seen about 2 turbo kits go for in the price range like you said. id love to get a turbo and it would be a great way to go if i found one for the right price. im not familiar with turbo's so it will defiantly be something to read up on. i still have time to figure out exactly what i want to do. i think if i find a turbo kit for the right price ill jump on it.
