>HEY MY FRIEND SOLD ME A 95 900 SABB TURBO, DUAL TURBINE
...HAVE TO GO THROUGH ABOUT $800 WORTH FOR MODS TO MY CAR, SO DOES ANY
>ONE THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA?
Uh, hate to be the one to break this to you, but it's going to cost you a
whole lot more than $800 to get that turbo to do anything on your car.
You'll spend $800 on just a decent intercooler and piping, not to mention
custom exhaust manifold, downpipe, bigger exhaust, fuel pump, injectors,
ECU, and all the little odds and ends a proper turbo install needs. The
turbo itself is one small part of a complete system--on its own, it's pretty
much worthless. You should realistically look to spend no less than $3000 on
parts alone, nevermind labor if you can't do the install yourself.
Furthermore, if your car has a GA16DE in it, you will find it necessary to
replace the factory pistons and connecting rods if you ever want to make any
real horsepower--most people seem to agree that the engine probably can
withstand about 200HP at the flywheel, which is only about 160-170 at the
wheels, after drivetrain losses.
Hope this helps,
JWolfe
