[QUOTE="RichV, post: 1127449, member: 17007"] Since you're hell bent on doing this, make sure you research the kit. Don't just buy a ebay crap-tastic setup because it's cheap. Remember the age-old saying: Fast - Reliable - Cheap *Pick 2 of the 3 Don't skimp on the turbo, that sucker spins at 100,000 RPM, needs to be bomb-proof to survive in that environment. Nothing more frustrating than getting all the bugs worked out of it, then the Turbo shells. When I upgraded my SVO to a T3/T4 Hybrid I went the cheap route, well I ended spending a few hundred bucks on ebay, then spent another $900 to get a quality turbo. I knew I found the right turbo shop when I went in with a box of turbo parts, the owner looked in it, and says 85 SVO right? I asked him, oh yea, what color is it? One of out local tuners is a big Turbo guy, I'll ask what kits he's using. I know Hellion makes good stuff, but even he thinks they are too expensive. But I'd rather pay more for a complete kit that's been designed right, than a kit that you have to tweak. There is a lot more engineering and difficulty to a well working turbo setup. [/QUOTE]
