[Brandonn]

move from nz 2k well spent get on the main land hahahaha

yeh if 2k is the budget go looks dude if u get a taste of power ull want more and way more $$$ wil be needed

well.... 2k doesnt HAVE to be the budget lol

2500 got me from stock to 317kw, you just have to shop around

Two and a half grand for 300kw+ is the bargin of the century, you will have to explain how you did that one.

I got 320rwkw with 3grand all second hand parts, cooler, piping, injectors, exhaust, gauges, bling tail lights, bov, flash box and a tune only thing I bought new was the pump. I kept all my original parts but I did have to trade exhausts lets just say I was in the right place at the right time

Are we talking auto or manual guys as we all know manuals read higher? My auto cost me 3k on its own to keep up with everything else and now this week another 3g is going on exhaust,turbo housing,actuator and tune and that's with me removing the turbo etc. If you got that power in a 4 spd auto and the auto is lasting ok you have done extremely well. xr6turboman,if your budget is higher than 2g go the mod path but be prepared for your planned budget to get blown out a bit as when it bites it bites hard. For those who have squashed the bug when it came back the second time must be either very smart,very broke or have a hard ass partner haha.

yea mines a 6spd auto so no clutch or strengthening required

One of the lucky ones ay...... All I can say is I am not doing this round of mods for looks but the money I have spent on this car I could of built something older,smaller and alot quicker. Just the whole daily driver is what gets me.
