lol, I think if you can do the above (swapping/building engines like that), you should be able to do a J35+6MT swap plus make the $500 turbo kit to fit/work. Then I think you will have a chance against him

damn that turbo kit looks nice! If you want something cheaper, you can consider this:

But the quality sucks from what I've heard....and fitment is an issue, since you work on cars, I think you can fix that haha...
