    You got all of this advice for free and this is how you react? You're funny.

    You can pick up used turbo kits on the cheap. Just make sure they're not ****ed up like the cartuning one on here that needs a new turbo.

    And then you'll need to drop 2-4 grand on a transmission that will stand up to any DECENT turbo kit.


    So move to a different platform?

    Oh and highway mileage is best with a turbo, not a blower.

    The free advice is great and appreciated for sure, there is lots more to hear when someone throws out "you can go turbo for less than $3k installed" - especially when you are just learning this platform.

    I don't want to replace the transmission for the sake of more horsepower via turbo. I thought there might be a decent median between 105-110MPH traps and a stock transmission (assuming that I dont beat the trans) - after all this car may continue to be an "winter only" car. Just want a fair bit more power given the roads are typically clear & winter last a long time here.

    Bluegtp91 - thanks for the advice on the ZZP kit, seems like victorsmalls is an advocate as well. I will be on the lookout.
