I can get it done for $6k.. geez Gigga, $15k? there are members on the board that do it for $12k.


to the OP - what is your reasoning for stating just that? I mean, are you expecting a reply like, no dont do it because the car just came out so the engine isnt familiar? You can turbo charge anything now a days, and you shouldnt ask us if we think you should do it.. you can ask us if you should go a single or bi-turbo route, or perhaps where and what mods with it, but asking us if you should reminds me of asking my boys: "Should I ask her for her number?". The answer is similiar - yes do it and find out what happens. It will either be awesome, or not. If you dont do it, youll never know what it'll be like if you would have done it.

Well, for a preassembled kit and whatnot, it'll probably be 15k.



If you want to go custom, which is a good choice if you are willing to put in the time and effort, it could save a lot of money.

6k is just the system itself without installing, tune, all the other things you supposed to have to try to avoid blowing up your engine.

go for the turbo just make sure you do your research on where you want to get it done. i am so glad i went TT. again just make sure you do your research........ first off you need to look at where you live.. close to the west cost GTM is your best bet. east coast south you have Forged. great guys. and in the north you have AAM.. also great shop... just make sure you have your build planned out and what you want done and goals you want met... have fun and keep us posted.a nd yes look at spending 15-20 Grand

Asking for her number is not going to cost you $15,000+++ if the outcome is not what you expect it to be.
