hey I was in the same situation as you were, but you would spend a lot for N/A and it wouldn't even come close to a F/I car.................save and go Turbo/SC

you won't see more than 230whp with an na build, maybe more if you spend more money, but by that time you've already exceeded the cost of a 350whp turbo/supercharger kit

if you cant afford to buy it all at once then save the money in a money market account and buy the turbo when you have enough money to purchase it and tune it correctly.

I've seen the Greddy kit on Ebay for around $3700. Has anyone here ever bought just the kit and run what ever was in the box? I don't really want a bunch of extra gauges in the cockpit, I like the stock interior look. Also, is a bov a necessity?

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but if a guy could just buy the Greddy kit and happily run it with a little tuning, its cost wouldn't be bad. But, if a BOV, gauge cluster, clutch and rear end upgrades are necessity, then the cost could go quite a bit higher.

I don't know much, but from what I have heard your stock clutch and rear-end will be just fine. If you run it really hard with Clutch dumps and such I am sure after a while it will blow, but you should be fine...............

Be careful, they may be made for cars built in JAP, different EMS then US ones, at least thats what I have heard, someone correct me if I am wrong
