$650 engine
$300 fmic core
$200 custom intercooler piping
$350 clutch
$ 650 corksport re programed ecu
$350 550 cc injectors
$100 guages

well you get the picture i think you should go for it.
well you get the picture i think for the price including labor is
fuzzy math ??? that added up to 2600, not 3500.... or my math is wrong ?!?!

i can think of some minor additional stuff (exhaust, fan, fuel pump...) but wont add up to $900 more, would it?

The funniest thing happened:
I took my car to the shop where the work is to be done and on tuesday (like two days ago) Glen, the shop owners calls me and says that the kit he was looking at is for the 1.6L protege. He said that instead of waiting for the company to get a bp turbo kit in he said that he will costumize the kit

This way i am getting
a fuel pump
variable fuel pressure reg.
injectors
a name brand bov
a gtx turbo mani from corksport
and an ihi turbo (at least the vj20 or maybe the vj23)
conquest front mount ic
2.5 in piping

and the best part is that he is not going to raise the price, its still $2300

What do yall think about that ?!
