Basically if you plan on spending $5K on a kit you should have another $5K set aside for when something happens. Because it is inevitable that something will go wrong. you can't spend all kinds of money on boost and expect everything to be all peachy on your first shot at it and expect your car to last like it was factory. If you are complaining about the cost of a quality kit then you should NOT even be considering boost at all. Plain and simple.

Agreed. 400 whp takes time, money, research, knowlege and a lot a lot a lot of patience. We arent trying to bring anyone down by telling you not to even consider forced induction. We are saving you the time because simply, people who want to go cheap are ignorant of what it actually takes to take a NA car and turn it into a reliable turboed DD.
