Exclamation Turbo

Hey Celica owners, I called a place and asked for a price on how much a turbo system would cost in my Celica GT, and if its worth it, He said Honestly if you had a GTS i would say no, a GT has i would say yes he said "head gaskets on a GT are thicker than a GTS so they wont break, and the chain can hold more power and torque"


He said a turbo kit to buy it would be $2,500 $3,000 without installation, do you think hes ripping me off? The place has gotten very very bad reviews, but i got my magna flow exhaust installed without a problem..

what do you guys think?

yea thats seems like what a shop would charge. for that kind of money its hopefully a really good turbo kit.

TurboKits.com » Performance Turbo Kits
These are some pretty good kits I hear and you can run it on stock internals and some good power out of it. and they're cheap.

If you plan on keeping your car for awhile and don't mind spending the money then go for it.

Go somewhere else, a bad exhaust is annoying, but a poorly installed turbo setup will destroy the engine.
