            true, true. Sometimes I forget that little ol' Dodge. The Turbo is the only thing that holds me back from just outright selling it get another car. Plus the fact that it was my first car. I'm just a softie. Plus, I think Ryan wants to start playing with it, and souping it up, but I don't know. I doubt it. I would like to get some sorta gas mileage(other thatn 10mpg) for driving back and forth to work, lol.

            But the Camaro will be most likely turbo'ed as my other plans don't look they will happen. Too much money.

              Yeah thing is, I see these kits selling for 4th gens at crazy prices. I figure you ebay right and the right person could pick a Garret turbo up for not too much. Id like to get one thats internaly wastegated. Other then that Ill have to buy some pacesetter headers and start hacking them up, unless I can find a premodified header. So Other then that what else would I need to do besides bolting it up, Hooking the header up to it, Attaching the intake and throw in a boost guage? Well I figure I've got some time before I take a step like this, mabye a extreme cam, higher ratio rockers, and a new ignition.
              Thanks

                you'll want to lower your compression, better head gaskets a completly different cam, and unless you are using the turbo as just a noise maker get an intercooler

                    the used FFF turbo kits for the 4th gens are for sale all the time. about 2200 and you can get one of those. Not to bad of a price for the power they put out.

                        Cool, whats the stats on ur turbo?
                        No offence to FFF but really you could build one alot cheaper. Its all about knowing how to fab the pipes up. 2000g's for a used one is still a little high. Anyone really knowledgeable with cams? I've been looking around and I'm only seeing these extreme cams. Im courius to what lift ect... im gonna need. Anyone ? =)

                            I know a fair share about turbos. One of my friends works at a turbo shop and another has a twin turbo talon and he knows quite a bit. They are a awesome power adder if you can afford it!
