    Default Smaller turbo out there?

    I have been looking into turbo kits for over 2 years and am sad to announce that my budget does not allow me to spend 5k on a turbo. I am only looking to get some more fun out of my tC than the possible 15 I have from E/I/H set up. I have also added a light weight crank, sways, and some other minimal mods that do nothing. LOL Anyways, I am looking to get 200-230 out of my tC. Is there any kit out there that is cheaper that I could run low boost on? Maybe like 5 psi. It is my only car therefore it is my DD to and from work and college. I know you have to pay to play etc. But if I pay a little can I play a little? haha just a question. Try to go easy on me and not shatter my dreams of boosting.

    Thank you to all that can help in any way!

    Industry standard for what you need, the GReddy Stage 0 turbo kit making about 240WHP. It is about the cheapest cost you are going to find that is top quality and not going to cause you problems.

    Thank you! What do you think If i did a custom build with a t25? Or would you recommend something like the 16g? Or is the greddy my best bet.

    I am not too knowledgeable about turbo specs and proper sizing. I leave that to the Pro's at Jotech Motorsports. You can give them a call and talk about this. Tony or Kenny would be glad to talk with you about what you want to do. They can do the custom setup or sell you the GReddy. Here is there contact info.Jotech Racing - Contact us
