So I know cheap turbo is an oxymoron. I'm not looking to take my 2001 to the strip, just want a little extra for when some a$$hole in a Honda with a fart can wants to have a go. Any suggestions?

Just pull off from the light a little hard then let off the gas....makes them look stupid.

The cheapest and easiest would be a bolt on supercharger kit. If you don't have 4 grand don't attempt it.

Just face the facts....you don't have the fastest car in the world.....and probably never will. Do you realize that a lot of these rice burners have some serious power. They sound like #$$ but 300hp in a 1700lb body is like damn near 500 in a 3400lb body.

You're going down the wrong path.

Advise from a turbo fox guy given. [emoji106]

I have on3 on my turbo 331.....it takes a lot of supporting parts and ingenuity. The upgraded ceramic turbo is worth it.
