Your paying for top quality and relyin on good experience wif john agreed with AGE86. the package is $4200 to be exact. includes turbo injectors, turbo ecu, t3, 3inch form turbo to cat, polished cooler with custom piping, dyno tune, boost controller, boost gauge, turbo timer, and maybe something i'm missing. very good quality, and only takes about a week, week and a half max.

It's all well and good to head off to the Bresciani's for a decent turbo conversion. But see hwo your diff and gearbox are doing in 6 months. And don't forget brakes. There's more to a turbo conversion then a turbo.
