Ebay twin turbo setup Checklist...Turbo a SBM for under $1000? :)
SO here I sit, with a mid 70's, low compression 318. 60K miles...and a desire to turbo something! And yes this includes some ricer math and bench racing, so don't beat me up too bad.
So I keep coming across all these ebay turbo's and china (yes I'm sorry) ebay components that make this seem fairly do-able, and cheap ta-boot.
So is it worth it? well I figure a strong SB from BP or ATK would run me at a minimum $4000, and make almost 375 hp, and around 460 ft lbs.
So for $900-1000 in hard parts, and another $1500 in a fitech or sniper setup...I'd have $2500 in probably the same 375 HP, and 460 ft lb engine....which is enough to have fun with IMO for a street/strip car. probably run 13's in an A-body, maybe even high 12's.
So here's the list...from ebay.
