A perfectly tuned turbo is essential for achieving maximum boost efficiency, same goes to all our power modifications. But lets not forget about our engines. So with that said here is a list and possible prices(may vary from location) for maintenance and upkeep of our engines. Hope this helps out.

Where and how did you generate the costs for each of these jobs? As well as where to get them done, that is unless you are doing them all yourself.

He copied the service list from his local dealership.

I wouldn't do half the stuff on that list, but I'd love to know how to tune my turbo for maximum efficiency.

Just to make things perfectly clear here, you do NOT want to use gear oil in the manual transmission of a 2GNT.
