complete w/*bulletproof* tranny is big $. i know a shop that will do a turbo kit for ~5-7k which includes everything needed to get it on the road and driving, except for the trans. the tranny is another 4k if you feel like spending it, which would be wise cuz ours cant handle stock power.

So that would cost more than the car is worth.

A guy here quoted me 1k for custom piping. So 1k+1k for the turbo (turbo, wastegate, blowoff) + i/c (price varries), then 1k+ for standalone+ tuning. Praying your weak ass tranny will hold, priceless.

Everyone knows when you mod a car, you never get your money's worth back. Modding the shit outta a car will only decrease the vallue of the car unless someone wants to buy it for some reason through a private sale.

no no, I guess you didn't catch the sarcasm in that. I was making a noobish statement. Just to let you know I DO know that modding decreses the value of hte car on teh gneral market, but ifyou're selling to a performance prson it will increase the value slightly.

A modded car will hurt you when it comes down to selling it, unless you got some rich 16 yr old kid that just got his licence and wants to be a "racer".
