So what else would I have to change/install if I get a turbo kit from HiBoost? New wheels? Suspension? Brakes?

We are in the final stages of our MP5 kit as well.We are not going to release it until we reach 40K miles on the first kit and 20K on the second.As soon as we reach these numbers and all bugs are worked out we will release our kit's.

you will need a new clutch, and a fresh set of good brake pads would be smart...

The stock clutch wont last more than 1000 miles or so with the boost.

Here are the pics of my Custom P5 Turbo Kit!







Expect allot of expenses...such as:
1. filling 93 Octane(Turbo Motors Alwayz Drink More)
2. New clutch & Flywheel
3. New Brakes
4. Piggy/Standalone...(FMU's Suck!)
5. UPgraded Fuel Pump

G/L

brakes?? Brakes aren't an issue unless you can't control yourself in traffic. Brakes are great on this car unless you're doing a lot of track time.

Uhh..It's a proven fact..That Lots of extra HP will decrease the efficency in any stock brakes...

It's also a proven fact that speed is speed regardless of how much power you make.....stopping from 70mph is the exact same regardless of how much HP you have. The brakes are still working the exact same.

Brakes come into play when you're running "hot laps" where you will be abusing them frequently and they won't have adequate time to cool down.

That's a good point...But those w/ upgraded brakes on their turbo kits..will all agree that stoping is just as important as going fast!
