    Would it be cheaper to add a super changer from a junked GTP and pay someone to install it to my 01 GT or sell my GT and buy a GTP? I almost bought a GTP ,but was $500 short so I ended up with the GT. Kind of kicking myself I did not get the GTP. I am a noob, so I would have to pay someone to do all this o.0. I also was thinking I could add mods to get the GT as fast at the GTP, as plan B, such as HV3 High Velocity Intake Insert and Have someone tune my car for it + other mods.

    My gt, with an intake and full exhaust, will just beat my friends bone stock gtp off the line but once we get over about 100kph he blows my doors off. IMO, just get a gtp.

    You've got some reading and research to do.
    You can teach yourself basic mechanics with the right information.

    If that doesn't work, buy a GTP.

    You were only $500 short for a GTP as you stated in the first post, it will cost more than that in just parts to to add the m90 to your GT, for a proper install.
    But, You may save money on insurance with the GT as apposed to a GTP.

    if you EVER plan on making bigger power, just do simple n/a mods.

    then turbo it later.

    I can try to save up for a GTP, then sell my GT, I rater do mods though. Cheaper insurance Thanks for the input. If I came by a good deal on a GTP before I do mods I get the GTP. Still might sell the GT, just going to go with the flow.. thanks guys! I keep you guys updated.
