how much does just the unit of the turbo cost if were to go to a junk yard and suggestions on which car to get it from. what do i look for? if i have it how much is it for the rest of the kit and where do i pick on up? ontario location. any one else hear of the turbinator? i seen it on this site is that really worth while getting that?

turbinator = crap.

depending on what engine you have in your car, you're probably going to want to look for a T3 out of a turbo Saab. If you buy your own turbocharger, you're going to have to piece together the rest of your own kit. Do you have any clue what you are doing with a turbo project? Go to Borders and pick up Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. Read it, learn it, memorize it.

Even to build a custom turbo setup, your lookinat over $1000. Being that you don't know much about how turbo setups work and installing them, firs suggestion is read more posts. Look at what people do right & what they do wrong. Second, best and easiest thing for you is to SAVE your money and buy a kit. Building a custom turbo setup even with a professionals help isn't easy. Buying a kit will save you alot of headaches (in your case).

If you have more questions, just ask...that's how you learn. Good Luck to you.

building your own kit is the only way to learn in my opinion, if you want to learn everything there is to know and learn how things work, how to troubleshoot, etc. and it's cheaper. but i'd only recommend this process if you have the ability for more car downtime.

Yeah he'll learn but I don't think he wants to spend a bunch of money if there is a mistake made. Also like you said, downtime is a big issue...

Everything on my car is custom built, and it took a week (maybe two, can't remember for sure) to install the turbo. Keep in mind that it was at a shop with a hoist, welder, and other tools. Also keep in mind that I work on cars all the time, that I'm a fairly good fabricator, that I had already collected and/or assembled a few parts ahead of time, and that it still cost me something in the neighborhood of $400 for parts alone.

There's one thing I've found to be true. You can spend time, or you can spend money. Either way, a good job has a higher price.

thank you for the advice. i am a daily driver and also yearly. i was hoping maybe during a full day or take one day to do it. is there are links for me to go and read and review set up's and how too? also where would i pick up a kit. in ontario?? what comes with the kit? wires waste, blow off, cooler????? i am going to be buying part by part, cause @!#$e now a days is to much expensive and i am not provilidged or spoiled so i have to do part by part and really dont want to spend 4 grand for a turbo, would almost be worth the buy back lol

^ get a second job for a month or two and get a kit....

It's really not that hard to make a turbo kit. The hardest part is geting the pipes ran and fuel.


horsepower is how hard you hit the wall, Torque is how far you push the wall with you

Having a stage 1 doesn't mean that your installation would be any easier. The lower the stage, it's supposed to be less the power gains, that's it.
