Does Bolt On Greddy Turbo Worth?
 
So i was checkin out some turbo kits and does the bolt on worth it? Also I was working on the clutch and i can use the stock wieght thingy and put it on the aftermarket to balance out the disc right?

greddy turbo kit worth what? money? performance gains? if you plan on getting a greddy turbo kit what do you realistically want to expect out of the kit? goals? and im sure me or someone else on the forum and give you a clear answer

It depends on whether you either have (1) lots of money and a very experienced rotary shop nearby, or (2) you have extensive gearhead experience and are willing to put in many hours of fiddling around with the car. In either case, relatively small mistakes can turn your engine into scrap metal very quickly. Odds are you're better off putting on a noisy exhaust and fancy wheels, upgrade the stereo and then enjoy the car basically as is.

LoL well i already found a shop. and it was worth 4000ish but the kit advertise as BOLT ONS i work only minor stuff on the car but im talking about TURBO which has to have proper tuning which i have no experience with. It also comes w/ the harness too. I was wondering to upgrade the exhaust and intake than the kit goes in and if it can atleast put in 250-300+ HP

Greddy turbo won't do 250-300 hp unless its modified

is reading up on FI (that's forced induction) considered a modification? :Wconfused

take some time and read the many posts in the major horsepower section, any question you can think of has been answered there.. and who knows, you might actually learn things before you screw up your car. But I doubt it.

I can vouch to that Mr Hill

an extra 8k to get another 30 horses? I know a better upgrade...sell your car and go get yourself an used evo

sounds like you are mixed up..a standard greddy turbo kit will net you between 250-260 if setup and tuned properly...the link to the MM upgrade kit is a whole different ball park..that will get you into the 300+whp and give you many additional items..imo well worth the money

I got 260 hp and 203 tq on 6psi

I'm going to pay you to install mine when the time is right :)

Oh snap! Yeah my time currently is unforseen. Still very foggy. But I will go no where else even if i have to trailer the 8 to arizona.

Plus side would be a nice road trip

on a 50 degree night without heatsoak I can get 270's no problem, and have maxed out at 289hp on 7psi with a stock greddy and a few fixes
