Well going through this thread, you can see there isnt a set cost to attempt to turbo a car. A brief breakdown of current cost for this project is listed a little ways back. Its looking like this is the most promising endeavor so far and will be worth every penny if it produces good gains

So met up with evan today(strokergsr) and guy is laid back and chill. Also his car is clean. Its been a long time since i got in a stock f. I remember why i fell in love with that soothing roar. So, he dynoed his car and numbers were pretty strong @ 330whp, and was able to make 360whp with just the box pushed/moved back. Which leads me to think some people get results, some dont, and weather may have alot to do with it. They will be conducting alot of tests once proefi is running on the my car, and on strokers car aswell. Cant wait to see the results.

On a sidenote, the frs turbo kit looks amazing!!!!!!! Cant wait to see the numbers it makes.

Excuse my ignorance but what is this "box" you're referring to?

Intake box. No ignorance taken, i should have been more clear about what i was saying Believe me, i know what results have been before and and read through threads about comparisons. I have, and i dont need to re-read them either, but simply put, alot has to do with weather conditions. He got results, while others havent. Its just one of those things. Regardless, they will be conducting a serious of tests and dyno sheets to show numbers without and with tune. They should be starting sometime this week. I cant wait to call in sick at work and see them work on this!!!!!
