Just a word of advice... if your buying a turbo, you're rpolly gonna need some better brakes. My brakes are crappy just with the 19's let alone the extra umph youll have. its kinda like "If you give a mouse a cookie..."

Mine was $60 and it was two boxes not one so it could be $40.

Brakes will be fine. I never had a problem and most of the turbo tC's run with stock brakes. I'm sure the bigger tires and a turbo would be different but he should be fine.

Really? Hmm...I retract my statement then. :D (I'm used to paying for 2nd day air, so my shipping costs are often twice as high, so I was figuring on it costing around $100.)
But he still has to pay for shipping from at least two separate companies: ZPI and TT, according to his plan. I think that would still push him over the $5k limit.

Right, but he's got leeway in his $700 for tune. It shoudln't be more then $300, so that's an extra $400 right there.
Unless that price included kit and gauge install as well.
Then it might be closer to $700

Thanks for everyone looking out for me with the AEM wideband.

AS far as shipping I've looked into it, $60.
As far as tuning, that's an estimate given to me from a friend.
The plug prices are ZPI's prices.
As far as oil pan: I'm sure I could do it myself, but buying one is a bit easier, and Todd has talked to me about maybe getting one from him, so we will see how that goes.

I'm not completely broke, I'm single, live with aprents, and make over a little over $400 a week (cleared) with only car note and car insurance to pay. Like I said, I'm far form broke and putting myself into crazy debt, I simply don't have 5K in my back pocket, so lay off.

As far as all the bashing on me getting the loan, I have some pretty opkay credit, and I have made several small loans form my bank already - all paid off.
Secondly, when I go to make the loan and htey ask why I'm not going to say "Oh, it's to turbo my car." You simply say "for personal reasons." and that's the end of that.

Anyways, I'm going to apply in a few weeks, so wish me luck.
