i want to get to get a kit, are the ebay turbo kits any good? or should i just go with like a comptech supercharger?

help me out on this guys...

 

6spd swap.

autotragic is teh fails

 

what car does the 6spd tranny come from? cl? my tl is auto btw

 

my turbo kit is on the way

 

where did you order it from (assclown)?

 

black market (used)

 

I believe custom turbo installs are better. They cost more to fabricate to your vehicle but you pick the turbo you want, the piping is bent custom to your vehicle, and it is tuned entirely to your wishes. Safer in a way. You aren't putting unwanted holes next to the ones the "kit" was supposed to bolt into because it wasn't designed correctly. And there is a great sense of pride in the time and work you put into it.

Bolt on power is just that. Bolt on. I hate the very nature of those words. If you want to tune your car, do it right the first time. Those kits are $3k-5k out of the box. Might cost $6k-8k for a custom setup. Maybe $10k with a good engine modification to boost the numbers even higher but in the end you'll have a quality build and some serious power that'll save you from the endless upgrade path of looking for more power from small time items costing several grand a piece that only gives you another 2-3 HP at best. If you go turbo, go head-over-heals. You won't regret it. Unless you chop it and cut corners to save money and blow your motor... Think about it.

 

If you want a turbo, spend the money on custom!

nice new avatar by the way

 

theres a comptech charger on the blackmarket for $1700 right now.

 

What he said ^^

And 6 speed.

 

I heard the "ebay" turbo kits are cheaply made and manifolds and turbos crack and blow pretty easily. I would say go comptech, or 6spd swap

 

ok but from what car does the 6spd tranny come from? the cl?

 

im selling a complete turbo kit with everything u need.. lmk

 

yeah the manual tranny comes from the CL-S.

I agree with the custom turbo kit as well. cost will be higher but your satisfaction along with your performance will be as well.

 

but my tl aint manual where else would it come from

 

did you not read previous posts?

 

In any case, OP, you're looking to spend a lot of $$.

 

This. ^

To me it doesn't make sense to spend 8-10k on a car that's worth that much or less, but that's just me

 

people need to realize that 2nd gen Tl's were not made in manuals, i always get asked why i didnt buy the manual, cus there isnt any unless they have been swapped.

 

not only that but i find 2nd gen tl's easier to mod/swap than the newer ones considering all the electronics being tied together
