Quick Turbo purchase question....
This might be kind of a retarded question.....but are there any turbo companies out there that take monthly payments instead of all up front? Im thinking no...but I was just curious

Save the money for it monthly and when you have the full amount saved, buy it.

Take out a personal loan. Be sure to take out enough for everything needed for the turbo

I would suggest only buying a turbo if you have the money up front and some extra spending cash. You WILL run into un-expected expenses during the install/tuning

I agree... then continue to save for a new engine, just in case

get a chase sapphire card and split the cost over months without the crazy interest (unless you don't pay)

+1 much easier. Buy the Turbo Kit.... then start buying all the accessories you are going to be needing for it.

CRH built it for me and helped me install it.



BTW - that is about $40 per horsepower.....about average for NA mods too if not better.
