If you sell the top swap will you be purchasing a L26 UIM?

For the top swap you could probably get $500, but just like anything else it's only worth what someone will pay.

If you go turbo which kit will you be getting? What size injectors? Which turbo? What fuel pump? What size piping?

There are only a few of us turbo'd around here so we need details.

If you are only looking to go 13's then it's not cost effective. You can spend 1/2 of the cost and easily get a S/C GP to obtain those times.

Let me know if you want to do that turbo. I know someone that wants $2,000 for a PT-61 turbo kit (you would need a couple of odds and ends since yours is an 04) but he has everything else.

Ah no, 2000 is actually cheap for a used kit pending whats in it and which kit it is. Have you priced them new yet?

If he turns up the boost more he'll need a new trans since it won't handle the power. Turbos make a lot more power than most S/C motors.

If he goes turbo he's gonna need a trans anyways.
And you are preaching to the choir when saying turbo engines typically make more power than a S/C setup.

But if the OP is only wanting 13's it isn't cost effective to go turbo. Unless he is a fan of flushing money down the toliet that is.

Oh and i forgot to say that if you decide to go turbo you will never want another S/C GP again. Plus you will be scratching your head on why you didn't do I sooner:lol:

I love my car tuning kit and it was a pretty straightforward install. Got quoted $525 to install it, but opted to do it myself to save some bones and for personal satisfaction.

yea i already discussed it with my tuner...we are gonna run it at low boost meanwhile i save for a tranny then when the tranny is installed i will turn up the boost

what are some things im going to have to worry about when i go turbo?

Nothing other than making sure your tune is right and keeping an eye on the normal stuff when upping the boost.

Heat is always a factor so make sure the wires are wrapped and zip tied out of the way.

Well there is one thing you have to worry about. 1st gear becomes useless.

No, it's not kuntzie and I would not consider him anyway after all of the bad feedback and blasting he is getting there. This is a guy from another board who is selling this.
