I am just wondering from people who decided to make there own kits and not buy one already done what is the estimated cost for a custom built kit rather then buying one done for 3k

 

You can put yourself a cheap ebay bought kit for about 2k, or it can be as expensive as around 6k with quality parts. Personally, I spent about 4,500. I'd go with the garrett kit, it will probably save you some money in the long run.

 

I bought a used garret kit, and my total b4 tune is a over 3 grand but that is including clutch flywheel TOB and install fee.

Get the garret kit : )

 

I guess ill get the garrett thanks for the helps fellas. i heard the tune that alpha kit comes with doesnt work on 08's tho=/ so i might just get the essentials find my own intercooling kit and trifecta tune it...does the garrett turbo hold up well with 5-8psi on stock 2.2L motors?

 

i am at 12 grand with rebuild, tune, and my turbo kit was pieced together

what motor are you turbo "ing"

 

08 2.2l

 

i spent a little less then $2000.

turbo = $200
manifold/charge pipe/intercooler = $220
tune = $275
wideband = $200
boost gauge/boost controller = $100 (used)
BOV adapter = $20
hi flow cat = $60
2.5" downpipe = $30
42# injectors = $120

im missing alot cause i dont feel like typing it all but you got the understanding lol

 

is that an ebay turbo/?

 

ive got about 12k into my car but i went a procharger instead of turbo.. baiscly everything is upgraded and nitrous..

 

Some of you guys have mad money in your setups, DAYUM!!! I'm putting together a custom kit, i have not added everything up yet but i'm easily at 2g's and will be more like 3g's when all is complete, and that's before i have to do a rebuild... Buy the kit, save yourself the aggravation. Alot of days, i wish i would have too....

As for spending money on the car, i have spent STUPID amounts of money, on this STUPID car... I'm addicted,lol.........

 

i thought i was ok at 8 grand and now im at 12 grand hahaha

 

might as well do it rite the first time..

 

yea exactly, i did my research, but then again when is the research ever done....

alot of planning, and finding the correct parts and it wasnt that hard, hahn for most of it .

iam very interested in this procharged ion u have.... awesome

 

elecblue06 is running the same s/c as me but hes a 2.4

basicly will pull like n/a and build boost with rpms.. has its own oil containment so it runs way colder than the m62 and wont burn your hand if you touch it.. low Intake temps.. flows 1000cfm at 24psi should be interesting.. was a ss/sc that put one on and made about 328whp at 16-17psi..

 

im just under 6 grand canadian for my build, but that includes motor internals, clutch, exhaust, alarm system, handeling and getting power to the ground upgrades..
but before i did everything else like i mentioned and just turbo i was like 2500 cnd

 

good luck with the whole power to the ground lol, i kno i wont have it lol.... solution; glue wings on side of car



thats good stuff, iv never been in a procharged car before
