People have GTP's with stock trans go out all the time and they don't make near enough power a turbo will. How in the hell do you think that he won't eventually need a built one or a replacement is bull****.
walbro = $60 42s = $120. I never said these were new parts for the fuel system... he asked if he could do it on that budget and I said it was more than possible. Hell new injectors are $210 high retail and a walbro is $80... so $300 for a fuel system woah look out.

Transmissions last alot longer than the internet says they do, I know because I have done it in fieros, gtps, bonnevilles.....

A seasoned owner with a lot of spare parts and the right resources could do this for potentially under $1,000 but you have to be more realistic.
Probably true, but it still doesnt make it impossible... I did cheap crap back when I was unemployed reformatting computers once a week without any prior experience... and that was when ebay didnt carry hardly anything turbo or 3800 related. The major issue about not having piles of spare parts and experience means you will probably have your car down whilest building it for a signficant period of time, which is usually a huge deal to the kids that want to do these things.
