seriously sell your berlina and buy a calais turbo for 10k you could get a nice one for that, would go far better than 8.5 would in your berlina!

total agreeance with all. stopped adding up at $30K and still have ****loads to do. Buy a VLT thats halfway there. $8.5 K? turbo - 2600. Computer (cheap one) 2500 intercooler plus piping, 1500 injectors - 1000. ur only just startin with 8.5K

yeah unless you can do all the labour yourself sell it off and get a turbo already with stuff done to it, even if there is **** wrong, your better off fixing that and you will have a better car than putting the cash into your n/a
