Turbo
Injectors
Test Pipe
Downpipe
EBCS
Fuel Pump
CAI
Intercooler
UICP
LICP

Any other minor bits.

Most importantly - a Tuner that knows their *** from their elblow that can put all this together and not put a hole in your wallet shortly after when your car blows up and you have to rebuild.

Suggestion - do full boltons, everything except a turbo, then see if you want or need more. A lot of people roll into a car and say 'I want XXX horsepower!' without really knowing what they are asking for. 400 hp in a RWD car is a lot different than 400 AWD power.

Good luck and enjoy the car, but I'd take my time and see what it needs rather than 'I need to meet X number'

P.S. When you are at 400hp your gas MPG will be silly ridiculous horribly bad. Like you can watch the needle move when you bury your foot.

An MHI18k turbo and full compliment of bolt ons should do it if you 93 octane. 91 octane may require GSC S1 cams. I would do valve springs if you choose to go with cams.

Thanks guys. I had a SRT4 with 370 whp with a T4 Turbo. I loved it mid to top end power was crazy. Just hated FWD.

Any idea how much it costs to convert with a core? Everything listed for them is $9,999. Also are they journal or ball bearing?

It never ends up being whats listed on the site, they always find stuff to tack onto the total that is wrong with your turbo

For what it's worth to the OP, I used the stock turbo to reach ~370/360 with full bolt ons and Kelford 214As @28psi (tapering to 18).

Napalm is correct about gas mileage - i'll see 22-24 on the highway and between 15-18 city (if I'm lucky.) Later this year I'm planning on upgrading to the hated on Tomei 8280 to take some stress off the engine and hopefully increase longevity.


Might see 400, might not, who knows. Upper 300s is plenty of juice for these cars.

No they dont. My local guy got his Red for tap over 1300 without anything upgrade. My friend just got his Green rebuilt for his 8, he never complain.

The $9,999 price listed is for the ball bearing centers which are no longer available. If you look under the "turbochargers" and then the "turbo upgrades" section, you'll see the prices associated with whatever turbo rebuild/upgrade you want.

You're welcome. I know it is a bit confusing, they really need to clear up their site a little bit.
