Default Re: Turbo?

I have looked into a turbo set up on an NA. I did this witht he guys at eurocharged.
They came up with a viable twin turbo system that i think will work well.

Here is the problem. for less than the cost of putting a turbo together wit an NA one can buy an SRT6 ready to go.
Still I have pursued the concept. Last week I narrowly missed an 05 Aerobue coupe at $8500 with a stick shift and reasonbly low miles. Add to that the $7K to $9K for teh turbo install and you ar in the $ 15k to $19 K range.
I believe the performace of an SRT but with the stick shift tranny would be the result of this mongrel combo.

A decent SRT6 can be had for less than $15K right now.

so, why would you do it?

That said, their may come a time when putting a taurbo on the NA will make sense.
If you are serious, chat with Jake or Gregg over at Eurogharged. They did the original SRT revision to turbo. I would say they are best equipped to take on the challenge.


But not today unless you just wanted to DO IT.
