i appreciate the help fellas, i did not realize it was so much, i saw a couple tcs at a meet with ebay turbo kits they paid 800 for and installed themselves. there were running 15 psi for the record. I think im gonna start with a trd exhaust and some rims. now if i can only find the exhaust for around $200.

You should never speak to those guys EVER again, or ask advice from them. 1) They only THINK they are running 15lbs or exaggerating running 15lbs, or 2) their motors will be blown up and on fire very soon. It will save you in the long run. You came to the right place, but you need to search for yourself, we are not going to spoon feed you, it does not work that way.

Like the whole philosophy of Giving a man a fish for a day and teaching him how to fish. You need to learn to fish, then when you run into an issue, you are not sitting here trying to wait on forum members to come up with an answer for you. Even though you will most likely get an answer, but what if you say....have an issue on the side of the road. You need to know what you are doing to fix that cause the forums won't be a mouse click away.

Damn I wouldn't say that much. I say from 2-4k depending on parts and labor. For example I was selling my kit and there are other kits for that price range. Used Ofcorse.

this statement alone tell people on here your not ready for boost,and sayin you didnt realize how much the good kits are compare to those ebay kits which would last 3 weeks not even,the way i see it,if you want to do something with your car and not sure,do lots and lots of research,i mean i could understand if you had a problem with something,but your asking questions that no one can answer for you,besides your self..and remeber google is your best friend or even better yet,theres tons and tons of info on here SL regarding going boost...
