Or if you want to jump in at once with your wallet, Boost :twisted:

Hard to give you a better answer without knowing your intentions for the car, budget, and what you want to end up with.

welcome to the site :thumb:

Amen :thumb:

Induction kits of LSi's don't give you much power. The AEM V2 is ok, but it only gives you low end torque. The higher rev's do nothing.

I personally would go for boost, I've seen some people sell second hand turbos for like £200.

Pick one of them up and run it at like 6-7 PSI :thumb: you'll get a bought 150HP.

everything you need to know about building a turbo setup. as far as cost... I'm not sure what the prices are like in your area

Around here you can piece together a turbo kit for around $800 usd and it goes up from there.

I was gonna buy it, now I have other things to do... :eh:
