Ok.
A can of worms has been opened I see.
Let’s break down the $1000 turbo set up.
eBay gt45 - $150
De capped injectors - free - if you want to get them flowed $200?
Turbo manifold - use the truck ones and a T4 flange $12
PCM Hammer for Tuning - Free
OBD MX+ dongle $120
Walbro 450 pump - $100
Sloppy Best Cam - import version $250
PAC 1218 springs $70
Re used head bolts and head gaskets
Maxspeedingrod intercooler and piping $150
Miscellaneous fuel fittings, pipe etc $100
Looks like you are correct -can’t do it for $1000, would need $1152.
My apologies….
Would I do it like this? No
Can you do it like this and make 500rwhp? Yes. If you have the fabrication skills.
Let’s consider it a conversation piece.
When doing my LS swap I made sure that everything I purchased was up to the intended power level I would eventually be looking to achieve.
I needed to run new fuel lines, get a fuel pump, needed new injectors so just purchased what was needed for 600rwhp rather than what I needed for a 300rwhp na set up.
Once I have ironed out the bugs NA will buy the pieces to make the turbo truck happen. Will I do it on the super cheap?
No.
Anyway, sorry for the thread hijack! Do a little research and enjoy which ever route you decide to take.
