Giffle Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Welcome For reliability, you'd better choose the EJ20t. For 2500$, you have to forget it unless you do a lot yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmedic Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 ^yep. List of stuff you'll need: -turbo motor, complete, with wire harness and ECU. Ideally DBC (drive by cable). -Notched front crossmember to work with up pipe. -turbo exhaust system, including headers, crossover, uppipe, downpipe. -if retaining top-mount intercooler, you'll need a hood with a scoop. Options are cut a hole in your existing one and graft in a WRX scoop/duct, or buy a Baja turbo unit ($1000 new) or JDM B4 (about $600 used). you can skip this and go front mount intercooler, but you don't get the cool "i'm a WRXlol" scoopy hood that way. -testicular fortitude to undertake a wire merge the likes of which would make Steven Hawking throw his hands up and roll away. . . or the funds to pay someone like iWire to do it for you.

Jacobpockros Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 You can spend 3500 for an AVO turbo kit on your existing engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5.56x45mm Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I wouldn't turbo an NA car if you want reliability. My suggestion is if you want to go faster invest your money in a good suspension setup and wheel/tire package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
