Biting the bullet! It's turbo time!

[johnnyv8]

Bobby I've already spoken to you. Just can't see dropping $6,000 + shipping on a kit right now. I can spend $3,000 on a complete kit and have it installed & dyno'd. Then upgrade when needed or wanted

Your are not the only one who went down this road for budget purpose's, trust me. I'm on my 2nd on3 turbo, and its already bad. However, as long as you know what your getting yourself into, you have been warned.

I'm only looking for 450 rwhp until I build another motor. This is a daily driver for my wife

I'd be careful with that idea. The smartest thing I did when I turbo'd my car was get a beater. If there are any delays with the install/tune, its going to be a problem if its your dd. Expect your mpg to go down and also be warned that even with a great tune and low boost, its still a huge risk your taken.

Does your wife know you're doing this to her car? lol

She's a keeper then. Mine was tempted to have me install my old T trim on her's. She waited until after I sold it to tell me because she knew I would.

Yeah she wants it done, I'm just putting it all in motion.

There'd be no hold ups in installing or tuning. My guys shop has everything you'd ever need.

I have a company truck I drive around everyday so it's not a worry

Weirdest reason for putting a turbo on a v8 ever.

Dang Frankie, if it weren't for you and Darren, my co-workers wouldn't be wondering why I sit over here at my desk and laugh all the time!

If it is a daily driver, and the wifes car, this is not smart at all. Putting an on3 kit on anything is basically converting it into a shit box. It becomes not if, but when the next part will break. You say you don't mind dropping money and upgrading as that happens, but when your wife is stuck on the side of the road 2-3 times, that may change your mind. $3k more for a quality kit is worth having a car you can depend on.

Engines typically pop at the precise moment that you don't have time or cash ready to deal with it. My advice is run away from this idea for the sake of reliability.
