Manufacturer: Star
Product: Stage 1 Kit
Estimated Price: $1,899.00
Description:
Complete kit includes:
T3/T4 Turbonetics Hybrid Turbo Charger
Vortech FMU (Fuel Pressure Riser)
Turbo Exhaust Manifold
2.75 inch Downpipe (connects at Catalytic Converter)
Chrome Piping with Beaded ends for solid connections
Oil Lines/Tees Adapters need for plumbing
Deltagate Wastegate Mark II
High pressure in-tank Fuel Pump
Electronic Fuel Componants Raises crankshaft power putput to about 200hp with 5-7psi of boost. Photo show the Stage 2 kit.

My idea is instead of paying about 3600$ for this Star Turbo Kit (which I still might do) what are the odds of me finding and putting these parts together, getting the pipeing properly bent etc, and have it done for alot cheaper? How much do you think I'd save? Any help would be awesome, thanx.

Peter, even if you are lucky enough to find all those parts, its gonna cost you almost the same to have them installed. Plus you'll have to fabricate some sort of front mount intercooler to get the best out of that setup.

The way I see it is like this:
Option 1 - Pay another 3 to 4k to go from where you are to a FWD 2G with 200 Crank HP, 175-180 WHP (no intercooler) (high14's quarter mile)

Option 2 - Remove all upgrades, sell the car, take the 3K hit on the paint and buy a 2G AWD with the same 175-180 WHP. (with intercooler). Buy a boost control ($85) and run high 13's low 14's.

Your choice dude. Mine wouldn't be #1.

Good Luck
