Default turbo'd y8

at first all i wanted was a motor swap. but i was thinking about how many miles i have on my engine (50k), which is not a lot at all. what i might do is change the transmission since i have an automatic and just turbo the car. the only problem is i would only have about 1200 to spend on a turbo. does anybody know where i can find a turbo that will fit my budget. BTW i have a 99 ex.

you could probably find a used one for 1200, if not less. An inexpensive new one is gona run you a little over 2000 probably.

maybe you could piece one together, but you wont find a good complete kit for that.

you just gotta keep saving up cause its gonna run about 2000-2500 for the bolt or a custom turbo kit. but you can find a used one for under 2000.

definitely save up until you can do it right. If you do it right you only have to do it once
