I want to turbo

I'm thinking about getting a turbo by the end of summer and I want the Hahn kit. The only thing is i don't want to drop 5k on the turbo and then find out i have to buy alll this other stuff in order to keep everything running correctly. So i need to know if i buy a turbo kit, what else do I need.

You should check out zzp's turbo kit and supercharge kits they might be cheaper then the haun kit i think.

It all depends on wht kinda kit ur looking for and how much power ur going to be putting out. If ur goin over 350, which I doubt... U shouldn't have to worry about buildin ur block. But your tranny could be a good upgrade, unless ur auto

really all you can do is get some stiff transmission/engine mounts and a clutch upgrade because your stocker will not last long

ZZP kits are better supported, and proven. 11 sec 2.4 track times, cars that idle and drive like stock. Much lower price than hahn with better components.

ZZP offers much better bang for the buck, and as zoomer said, have track proven times to show what their kit can do

its still alot of $$ but try turbokits.com, hahn will price match. thats what i did anyways.
zzp isn't a bad choice but i have the hahn kit and my car runs just fine, but you can always go a cheaper route. i went hahn because this is my dd and i couldn't afford to have my car down for a month so with the hahn kit i was up and running in 1 week

c'mon zooomer i know your kits are nice but an automatic turbo car is killer at the track on slicks.

i did lvl 4 because i went with different injectors & tune. if you have no access to any of these i recommend lvl 5 because its the complete kit.

word of advice, tap your oil pan because the no oil solution hahn provides is crap. 2nd! get tbolt clamps, hahns warm clamps wont hold for **** with doing this your install should go smooth.
also in my sig are all my mods and i didnt upgrade the clutch right away but its very wise too. i must say at the stock 15psi the stock clutch held just fine.
