Tubro Kit or Piece by piece
 
Alright I've been looking at turbo kits for my Rx8 But being a penny pincher i am, and just wondering is it wiser to by the whole kit or piece by piece, and if it is the piece by piece what is the part list for it

1. If you know what you're doing, piece by piece can be a way to save some cash.
2. If you have to ask for a parts list, then you have no business piecing together a kit.

Research is your best step

What? That's not necessarily true, it's good to be informed. I made a parts list before doing my build, and I asked questions.

To the question at hand you will be piecing stuff together either way, in form of supporting mods (tuner, coils, fuel pump...), I would suggest to at least start with a complete kit as buying stuff individually will cost more (is it more expensive to buy a car in parts or as a whole?). But you will still need more, and if your not going to lift a wrench it's going to cost you even more.

Conservatively you will need a minimum of $4000 and be resourceful and do work yourself (and keep a couple bucks in case you blow a motor). Used a turbo kit is about $2000, coils $600 new, fuel pump $100, turbo rebuild $400, tuner if you go with AP $600, and all the miscellaneous stuff you will need along the way. Only way to penny pinch is to buy everything used but you risk this not being as advertised, and to do all the work yourself.

I have a complete kit ready to bolt on for sale. This would save you having to piece it together. its far more complete then even buying the entire kit brand new.

It comes with everything you need

Cobb
Greddy Turbo kit
Upgraded couplers
Gauges
BOV
Boost controller

and much more.

PM me if interested
