31343, Forced Induction on my RS!
Posted by Four20A, Sep-17-02 09:00 AM
This post is for anyone who has turbocharged their RS or GS. Before I make any mods with my cars appearance, my major concern is with my engine. I want to turbocharge my 420a, but not sure how to go about it. Should I go with some of the kits out there like star performance or hahn racing and etc., or should I go with a "homemade" kit. I'd like to know what some of you guys did and what the cost was? If you have any dyno or track times that'd be nice too. Basically, I'd like to do this the most "inexpensive" way as possible, not the "cheapest". Make sense? Thanks for the help!

I paid $1600 for a used HRC stage one kit when I first got into this stuff. I have come a LONG way since. I think the new kits are around $2000 for a HRC kit. I ran a 14.3 @97 on 8 psi with a stage one kit plus the FMIC off a starion that was about $350 total. I should be seeing low 13's or high 12's once I get this thing running welll at 15-17 psi with the msd dis 2 installed.
