turbo???

So i can't decide right now if I should take advantage of zzp black friday sale and buy a turbo kit. My concerns are that it's my dd and I'd need it installed and tuned within 2 days (days off work) if possible, and second if the clutch will hold up with mild acceleration for the dd? Am I getting in over my head. Thx happy holidays!

I wouldn't rush it honestly. And if you miss the deal you can Always wait for a used one pop up.

You could always buy it and save money then buy a clutch and then take a week off work to do it?

this is good advice. i did my clutch first because even with the baby turbo it was starting to slip at high loads.

I did turbo ran on 7lbs until stock clutch slip. I was couple months till that. But even with clutch slipping I drove till I was able to change it. Just don't accelerate hard or go full boost.
