Supplied and fitted your looking at around 5k for a basic kit expect about 35-45% gain in power and torque.

i would say if he cant afford to do it right, save up and do it right once. plenty of topics on here about it. can he fit it himself. if so he might be able to piece together his own kit. look at a gt2860r, gt2871r, or gt2876r try matt mcinnes he should be able to supply you with an adaptor for the turbo. then you will need to get new half for your manifold for the turbo or i think matt is also doing an adaptor for this as well see in this section i think his name is bigtroopy he has fitted a turbo to his troopy same engine so he might be able to give you a bit more of a run down on price and what the adaptors are like

I just put a Turbo Glide kit on mine, Took about 4-5 hours bye myself including exaust, turbo bolts on to standard manifold. All up about $3000 delivered to my door.

98lux whats the verdict with the turbo glide kit? Are you 100% happy with it? And did the kit include the entire exhaust?

All good so far, still have to get it tuned properly and fit a pyro/boost gauge. Turbo came with a complete exaust system, dump pipe to tail pipe(2.5")

The 1HZ spun the wheels and kicked a bit sideways the other day (in the wet) with 35's for the first time
